Don't waste your money

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I tried Little Snitch 2.05 and liked it, so I purchased a registration key. The registered software keeps disabling itself after three hours and I have to manually turn it back on. I've completely uninstalled the entire software package, including deleting all the library files, etc. performed a fresh reinstall, and the problem persists. It looks like other users have had similar problems, and I've tried various suggested work-arounds without success. The software developer is totally worthless when it comes to supporting their product, in particular when it comes to addressing this issue which is CLEARLY a bug.

Definitely NOT recommended.

why? - alberto2602

It's a honest "firewall", it eats a very LITTLE amount of CPU.
After few cliks, it disappears.
What do you want?
I know: it is a problem to de-install a program (for a mac, too). Deistalling LittleSnitch is a very little problem ........

I believe this only happens when the serial number is either entered wrong or is blocked because it is pirated. I had a demo that had that reaction after it expired. I bought the program and have never had that problem since. Double check your serial number and try it again.

or just use Little Snitch to block Little Snitch from contacting the Little Snitch servers ;)

Waste Case Review - Worth ignoring - zunipus

:-P

I have no idea what this reviewer's problem is. Clearly he did NOT register Little Snitch. What he's ranting about is normal behavior when you do NOT register the program. It is also normal behavior if you use a CRACK registration number that has been disabled, which of course is very naughty.

This is one of my very favorite programs for Mac, works flawlessly and is super at what it does. Therefore, I am going to provide my own review to counter this stoooopid review. I am very sad that this guy was so clueless. He hope he tries again and registers the program for real.
