I have Little Snitch v2.5.2 and had it for a couple of years now working ok. I now find however that when I have LS active I cannot connect to my server with Safari but can with Google Chrome. Why is this? Can anyone tell me how to get Safari back and set it up so that I can only prevent the couple of dubious apps from calling home but allow everything else to function normally. I thought I had set the prefs up ok but something is wrong!

So if you turn off LS it connects? Not seeing any deny rules in that screenshot.

Also, do you have any entries for WebKitPluginHost that you might have denied.?

Could this behavior be related to your other thread on Flash issues.?

I deleted the "deny connections" in "all applications" and then manually put in "all ports/connections" rules for Safari and Chrome which seems to have worked and negative rules for the apps that I am suspicious of. All in all a bit of a pain!

Is there a reason you didn't update to LS 2.5.4

I guess I chickened out! Having had a few problems recently I didn't want to complicate matters even further. It seems to have settled down now so perhaps sometime soon .....
