Choose Edit Disable (or Enable) from the menu bar. Right-click on the selected rules and choose Disable or Enable from the contextual menu. Click the checkbox in the “On” column of the rules list. Sep 07, 2018 By default, Little Snitch uses Silent Mode—Allow Connections, which behaves just like Apple's built-in firewall does, which is to say that it assumes any application on your Mac that is properly signed is allowed to send and receive data at will. It also tracks every connection, while allowing all network traffic to freely enter and exit your Mac, so you can look at those connections and decide whether or not you want to make that connection in the future. I have recently upgraded my little snitch software and noticed that disabling or removing protected rules is no longer possible. I would like to revert.
Starting with macOS 10.15.4 the above “Legacy System Extension” message will be shown when Little Snitch is installed.

There are two Keyboard Maestro macros here, to Enable or Disable Little Snitch's network filter using GUI scripting.
Both the scripts work entirely the same way:
This is the Note Below that was mentioned above: The 'click on General' step is probably unnecessary, since Little Snitch's preferences default to showing the 'General' tab when it opens, but it feels like the right thing to do. For example, what if the preferences panel had already been opened to some other panel for some reason? Also, just for the sake of completeness, the macro opens the preferences panel using both the menu item and the keyboard shortcut. Doesn't hurt anything to do it twice, and if, for some reason, one of them misfires, the other could work.
![]() Warning!
In order for these macros to work, you have to enable GUI Scripting access to Little Snitch. Doing so is a potential security risk, so understand what you're doing before you do it. I consider the risk to be minimal and worth the trade-off. Use entirely at your own discretion. Caveat emptor.
To make that change, open Little Snitch Configuration.app and go to the 'Security' pane, click the lock icon (bottom left) and then make sure the box next to 'Allow GUI Scripting access to Little Snitch' as shown here:
Installation
After installing Keyboard Maestro, download the Enable-or-Disable-LittleSnitch-Network-Filter.kmmacros file. (n.b. the file can be named anything you want, just make sure that it ends with '.kmmacros' and nothing else (like .xml or .plist).
The easiest way to install it is simply to double click the '.kmmacros' file, which should import the macro into Keyboard Maestro and tell you that 2 macros were imported.
You can also use Keyboard Maestro's
File » Import Macros.. menu as shown here:
Little Snitch Disable Youtube
Then select the Enable-or-Disable-LittleSnitch-Network-Filter.kmmacros file from the Finder. You should get the same notification shown above.
