  • Is Apple checking images we view in the Finder?

    I see a lot of people talking about firewalling in this thread...

    Apple owns the whole IP range 17.X.X.X, so you can just put the below line in /etc/pf.conf to block all talk with those IPs

    block drop from any to 17.0.0.0/8

    Also for an additional layer of protection, you can add these domains to the hosts file:

    > privacy settings (it used to be "set what you want to share" and now it's "learn what is shared")

    What I like to do with this is have two versions of hosts file and two versions of /etc/pf.conf

    In one setting, I use https://gitlab.com/intr0/AppleBlock/-/blob/master/AppleBlock... in the hosts file and block the whole 17.X.X.X ip range (Apple's range) in the pf.conf

    The other setting doesn't have any of these blocks

    Whenever I need some apple service (e.g. updates or apple developer stuff), I run a script to toggle the blocks

    The benefit of this approach is you get apple services only when you need them

  • Does anyone use Apple/iOS specific telemetry blocklists?

    I was looking at some Apple-specific telemetry blocklists and it seems like the lists are either absurdly-light lists or kill-everything lists.
