    Objective-See, The free macOS outbound firewall app LuLu v3.1.1 was released on 12-February-2025.

    SHA-256: f48cc88b2fe367b0e3a6733dd59397d67935ee2726143e80886d1a171694d1e2

    ‍ Improved Classification of Apple App Store Apps
    Updated team IDs that Apple (now) uses for its App Store applications

    ‍ Improved Handling of Processes that (quickly) Exit
    Such processes are now better detected and ignored (related to #711?)

    Improved Localizations
    Translations corrections and UI improvements (to avoid clipping of longer translations)

    ⚠️ Added warning, noting that it is recommended that one upgrade to macOS 15.3+, as Apple (finally) fixed several issues that addressed incompatibilities between macOS and 3rd-party network extensions (such as LuLu).

    ⏸️ New Feature: Disable Rules (#353)
    Either individual rules or all rules for an entire process can now be disabled

    macOS 26 Compatibility Improvements

    Rule's Window Improvements
    'Hamburger' menu added to contain rule options, such as disable, delete, view paths, etc.
    Hitting delete on your keyboard on a selected rule will also delete the rule. Also, default ports (80/443) are hidden in rules to make the UI cleaner.

    Rule Cleanup
    Expired and temporary rules are now automatically cleaned up / removed

    Additional Localization(s)
    Italian

    Improved Passive Rule Creation (#782)
    Passive mode rule creation now prioritizes domain names over IP addresses. Now, when passive mode creates rules automatically, they will show meaningful names like github.com instead of 140.82.112.3:443.

    Changes to VirusTotal Integration
    Due to an API key being deprecated, the VirusTotal button now opens VirusTotal's report in the default browser

    Note, to facilitate testing/bug reports, you can stream debug log messages via:

    log stream --level debug --predicate="subsystem='com.objective-see.lulu'"


    (Note: Server-side JSON file will be updated in a few days so that the update message from within LuLu is displayed.) For now, you can manually update by downloading the attached disk image, LuLu_4.0.0.dmg.

    Objective-See has made LuLu Version v4.0.1 available. (01-September-2025)

    LuLu v4.0.1
    Improved Logging
    Per request, added a dedicated debug log msg that shows Process → Endpoint → Rule → Decision.

    To filter on, from Terminal, run:

    log stream --level debug --predicate 'subsystem == "com.objective-see.lulu" && composedMessage BEGINSWITH “[LULU]”'


    Rules UI
    Reverted logic that would hide HTTP/S ports for endpoint rules, as it was a bit confusing to determine whether the rule was then for all ports or just the HTTP/S ones.
