In order to perform its duty, Little Snitch needs to add components to a very low level of the operating system, which also need to be registered and unregistered with the system. It is therefore not sufficient to just remove all of Little Snitch’s application bundles. Instead, Little Snitch Uninstaller must be run.
Little Snitch Uninstaller

The easiest way to open the Little Snitch Uninstaller is to drag Little Snitch Configuration from the Applications folder to the trash. Little Snitch’s background processes notice this and automatically start the uninstaller that is located in
/Library/Little Snitch/Little Snitch Uninstaller.app
.Alternatively, the Little Snitch Uninstaller can be found in the Little Snitch
.dmg
disk image file, next to the Installer. If you don’t have the disk image at hand, you can always download the current version from our website. The uninstallation process itself is straight forward, with only one option to choose: Whether you want to remove your rules and settings or not. After the process is finished, you must restart your computer.
Can’t boot after installing Little Snitch update. 8 months ago. Can’t boot after installing Little Snitch update. Save hide report. This thread is archived. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Jun 05, 2015 I have recently upgraded my little snitch software and noticed that disabling or removing protected rules is no longer possible. I would like to revert.
If you enable the option to remove rules and settings, the Uninstaller deletes all your system-wide configuration and rules files (also any files from older Little Snitch installations), including the file that stores your license information, as well as the configuration files, rules files and log files for the user executing the Uninstaller.

List of paths
Little Snitch creates files under the following paths:
The “~” (tilde) sign refers to your user’s home folder.
Please note that the Uninstaller does more than move the application bundles to the trash and delete the configuration files. If you really want to remove Little Snitch completely from your system it is highly recommended to use the provided uninstallation application.

There are two Keyboard Maestro macros here, to Enable or Disable Little Snitch's network filter using GUI scripting.
Both the scripts work entirely the same way:
- Check to see if Little Snitch Configuration.app is running, save to a variable
QUIT_LITTLESNITCH
- Launch Little Snitch Configuration.app
- Open Little Snitch Configuration.app's preferences (see note below)
- Click on the 'General' tab (see note below)
- Look for either a 'Stop' button or 'Start' button
- if a 'Start' button is found when we want to enable the Network filter, press it
- if a 'Stop' button is found when we want to disable the Network filter, press it
- if a 'Start' button is found when we want to disable the Network filter, the network is already disabled (the presence of a 'Start' button means that the filter is stopped).
- if a 'Stop' button is found when we want to enable the Network filter, the network is already enabled (the presence of a 'Stop' button means that the filter is already stopped).
- If neither a 'Start' or 'Stop' button is found, prompt the user to see if GUI Scripting is enabled, and then cancel the macro.
- Send ⌘ + W to close the preferences window
- If
QUIT_LITTLESNITCH
is 'yes' then quit Little Snitch Configuration.app
This is the Note Below that was mentioned above: The 'click on General' step is probably unnecessary, since Little Snitch's preferences default to showing the 'General' tab when it opens, but it feels like the right thing to do. For example, what if the preferences panel had already been opened to some other panel for some reason? Also, just for the sake of completeness, the macro opens the preferences panel using both the menu item and the keyboard shortcut. Doesn't hurt anything to do it twice, and if, for some reason, one of them misfires, the other could work.
Warning!
In order for these macros to work, you have to enable GUI Scripting access to Little Snitch. Doing so is a potential security risk, so understand what you're doing before you do it. I consider the risk to be minimal and worth the trade-off. Use entirely at your own discretion. Caveat emptor.
Little Snitch Windows
To make that change, open Little Snitch Configuration.app and go to the 'Security' pane, click the lock icon (bottom left) and then make sure the box next to 'Allow GUI Scripting access to Little Snitch' as shown here:
Installation
After installing Keyboard Maestro, download the Enable-or-Disable-LittleSnitch-Network-Filter.kmmacros file. (n.b. the file can be named anything you want, just make sure that it ends with '.kmmacros' and nothing else (like .xml or .plist).
The easiest way to install it is simply to double click the '.kmmacros' file, which should import the macro into Keyboard Maestro and tell you that 2 macros were imported.
Little Snitch For Pc
You can also use Keyboard Maestro's
File » Import Macros...
menu as shown here:Disable Little Snitch Startup Windows 10
Then select the Enable-or-Disable-LittleSnitch-Network-Filter.kmmacros file from the Finder. You should get the same notification shown above.
