Little Snitch, the popular network utility by Objective Development Software Gmbh, has been updated to version 3.5, its nightly build number 4226, a 22.2 megabyte download adding the following fixes and changes:
– Little Snitch menubar item no longer occupies space when disabled.
– Added support for showing iOS App Extension icons.
– Improved handling of via connections:
Connection alerts now show a cancel button if either the parent or the via process is terminated.
Until Quit rules are now valid until both the parent process and via process have terminated.
OS X Yosemite changed how incoming ssh connections are handled. Incoming connections are no longer handled by sshd directly but instead by launchd. On OS X Yosemite, this version of Little Snitch automatically converts existing rules to ensure incoming SSH connections work as expected.
– Minor improvements and bug fixes.
Little Snitch 3.5 retails for US$34.95 and requires OS X 10.8 or later to install and run.

Mac on Yosemite OS 10.10.1. Since upgrading to Little Snitch 3.5, it ran for a few weeks then would not let webpages load on Firefox nor Safari. Turning off LS’ Network Filter enabled webpages to load. But then, what’s the point? Uninstalled, re-installed the latest Core System Version 3.5.1 4233.
Never had a problem prior to this. Thought you’d like to know.
