May 15, 2009 If Little Snitch were phoning home, I'm sure someone would have posted the relevant data for all to see. I guess what I was really hoping for was more of a rebuttal to Sushiosoyum, who says he has absolute proof that Little Snitch phones home. What is wrong with the test he described? The internet is not very satisfactory when it comes to this question, I found one somewhat related question here where someone says allowing parsecd internet access via Little Snitch made their keyboard input smoother. But what the heck does parsecd actually do? I do see it pop up regularly via Little Snitch, and I would love to know what it does. In fact, had it not been for Little Snitch blowing the whistle on ksurl, I would never even have known that it was running and helping itself to my Mac’s CPU and memory resources. You see up popped a warning that process ‘ksurl’ was trying to connect to a Google web address (cache.pack.google.com), but looking in Activity Monitor there. Aug 01, 2019 FWIW Snitch turned out to be the cause for me too. It was a specific time that I denied a request to connect to something specific at google, suspiciousterm.google.com, but the rule I generated locked out the whole domain. As soon as I deleted that, everything back to normal. Sorry I didn't jot down the specific address.
