Can't activate Service -> Not running

[kkebo]

@sedony23 I'm aware of a similar case. In your case, Little Snitch is probably preventing DNSecure from running. Please try again after stopping Little Snitch.

I just tried it, it works, if I stop the Little Snitch service. However, I need Little Snitch. Is there a workaround or something I can do to help you figure out how both could work side by side?

Best and Thanks for the great work!

I don't know exactly the settings in Little Snitch, but I assume that you have to whitelist the DNS IP's. Fore sure this is possible in LuLu a very similar app by Objective-See which additionally is free. Good luck!

@sedony23 Thanks. I'm still investigating it. Currently, I think it may be a specification of macOS. If so, we can't do anything.

I'll let you know if I find a solution or a workaround.

@no0ID Unfortunately that didn't work. Whitelisted the IPs and the domains for all processes. Does it work with LuLu for you?
@kkk669 Thanks a lot!

Hi, no Mac at home for the moment, waiting for delivery. Try as follows: - DNSecure is configured with some servers - switch off DNSecure and use an standard DNS server - install LuLu and set allow all Apple connections - launch DNSecure - LuLu should prompt you with the question if connection to displayed IP(s) and port # should be allowed - tick allow This is the way how LuLu worked in Catalina.

I wrote to the "Objective Development" people (creators of Little Snitch). They say that in Big Sur there is a general incompatibility between encrypted DNS profiles and some third-party DNS (encryption) tools and network extensions like Little Snitch. :(
