Everyone has heard of them, blocklists, blacklists, denylists. But what are they? In short, a blocklist is a database of Internet servers known for spreading spam, malware or unwanted advertisements. If a blocklist is installed on your computer, connections from your computer to those servers won't be allowed.
Useful for data and privacy protection or simply for minimizing the amount of ads you are shown, blocklists are an effective tool to navigate the web more securely and safely. So, the real question isn't whether you should use them, but how you should use them. When googling the term 'blocklist' millions of results (literally eight million results) are presented to you. An insurmountable amount to sift through. From servers hosting blocklists, to articles telling you which are the best ones, it can be overwhelming to choose which blocklist to use.
In order to critically review the blocklists presented to you, here are a few things to look out for. Are they curated manually or automatically? Is the blocklist monitored by someone you trust or is it an automated service running on a big server? How often are rules updated? And lastly, how big is the blocklist you're reviewing?
Little Snitch Mac Catalina 2017. A week or so ago I upgraded to macOS Catalina.Most of the macOS updates over the last couple of years have gone very well, but I have become a little more conservative in upgrading, since once in a while something that I didn't think of, did stop working. Little Snitch Gift Card Runs on macOS 10.11 up to 10.15. Little Snitch Catalina Mismatch. Increased the maximum number of host names allowed in a rule group subscription to 200.000. Fixed an issue causing XPC services inside bundled frameworks to not be recognized as XPC. This resulted in connection alerts to be shown for the XPC services themselves instead of for the app the service belongs to. I'm on Catalina and using the last Little Snitch and all is working very well. I must say I did a fresh install when I upgraded to Catalina, and this probably saved me many problems. LS is not working properly in Catalina if upgraded.
All of these questions are important to consider when deciding which blocklists to use. Some may be unnecessarily extensive and impact performance or you might prefer to know the person monitoring and updating the list. Whichever your preferences are, it might be worth reflecting on these things, before diving headfirst into the large pool of blocklists out there.
When it comes to Little Snitch, blocklists can be utilized with its Rule Group Subscription feature. 'Rule groups are sets of rules that anyone can create and publish on their web server for others to subscribe to. Whenever changes to the rules are made by the publisher, subscribers receive these changes.' Even though blocklists only take advantage of a subset of the capabilities of this feature, using rule group subscriptions to access blocklists in Little Snitch is probably their most popular kind of use. However, since rule groups let someone else decide whether to deny or allow certain connections on your computer, it is very important to trust the person monitoring and updating the rule group you are subscribed to.
An immensely popular blocklist and rule group subscription is Peter Lowe's blocklist. He has been maintaining and updating this list for almost 20 years (as long as we have been working on Little Snitch). 'I think I have the claim to the oldest blocklist on the Internet.', he jokes when asked about the subject. It started very simple. He found an easy way to blackhole certain hosts using a local DNS server, which allowed him to block connections to these sites. In his excitement about this newfound way of avoiding ads, he shared his findings on a webpage. As the years went on, he kept adding more hosts to his list and so his blocklist was born. 'Mine isn't the most comprehensive list out there. It's only 3,500 domains. But I look at each one myself and research them.', he says. The reputation of his blocklist is based in this meticulousness. Today, millions of people use his list. Even some of his friends, who only at a later point put two and two together and realized that Peter Lowe their friend and Peter Lowe their blocklist provider are the same person.
Lowe's blocklist by far isn't the only one out there. Entire servers are dedicated to lists targeting specific topics with hosts in the hundred thousands. If such big blocklists are entirely necessary in order to safely traverse the Internet is up for debate. It is usually more important to focus rather on the person behind the curation of the domain list than on the mere size of the list, when choosing a rule group to subscribe to.
To sum everything up, blocklists are a great tool to make surfing the web more enjoyable and stress free. Born out of a common pet peeves, they have evolved into a big network of people working to keep you safe from malware or spare you the energy of clicking away pop-up ads.
We say: Use them, but use them wisely!

Austrian developer Objective Development today announced the release of Little Snitch 5, a major new version of its popular network monitoring utility on the Mac. Whenever an app attempts to connect to a server on the internet, Little Snitch shows a connection alert, allowing you to decide whether to allow or deny the connection.
The headline new feature of Little Snitch 5 is integration of new network filter technologies introduced in macOS Big Sur. Objective Development says the app's underlying engine was rebuilt to replace the previous kernel extension-based approach, which is no longer supported by macOS. The app has also been redesigned for macOS Big Sur.
Little Snitch 5 now captures connection information in the background. The app no longer requires the Network Monitor application to be running in order to collect this information, resulting in reduced memory and CPU consumption. The new monitoring system is now capable of holding traffic information from up to one year ago, versus one hour previously.
System administrators now have the ability to configure settings via a command line interface, making Little Snitch scriptable for the first time. This interface provides both historical and real-time log data of all network connections.
The app has also moved to drag-and-drop installation, meaning that restarting is no longer necessary for installation or updates.
Little Snitch Pc
Little Snitch 5 is available now on Objective Development's website for $45 per individual license. Existing customers who purchased Little Snitch 4 after November 1, 2019 can upgrade to Little Snitch 5 for free. Customers who purchased Little Snitch 4 prior to November 1, 2019 are able to purchase Little Snitch 5 for a reduced price of $25.
Little Snitch For Catalina
Little Snitch 5 requires macOS Big Sur. Users still running macOS Catalina or older can still purchase and run Little Snitch 4, which includes a free update to Little Snitch 5, giving users the freedom to choose when to upgrade.
