SysopGrace Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I get these popups from the OS firewall whenever I open certain apps that need to accept incoming connections. The problem is I keep hitting accept, but each time I load them up they ask me for permission again... Isn't there a way to trust them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 That sounds like Little Snitch to me. See if you have it installed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numberzz Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 That sounds like Little Snitch to me. See if you have it installed... That is Little Snitch. There is no other program that does that, which I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SysopGrace Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 oh thanks, i'd just like to know if theres a way to keep the firewall on without all the hassles of clicking ALLOW everytime i want to allow the same application  thanks a lot!

Proteo Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I know it makes no sense (shame on you Apple!) but actually there is no way to have precise control over the new Firewall, and personally, I haven't been able to do what your'e looking for. Option 2 (Set access for specific...) should take care of it, but it don't remember your choices so you are bugged with the same questions again every session. Â Hopefully 10.5.2 will bring some improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SysopGrace Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 yeah... i'm using SET ACCESS FOR SPECIC right now actually lol  thanks anyways, i'm already looking forward to 10.5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
