When Vallum attempts a connection to check for updates you will see a notification and you will be able to block it. Vallum itself is subject to its own rules.

Vallum does not “phone home” and does nothing in order to monitor its usage. None of your personal/system data is collected or leaked. On Apple Silicon Macs most tasks run on the CPU efficiency cores in order to keep a very low impact on your MacBook battery. Vallum and its components make an efficient use of your Mac’s system resources. For example using a single rule you can tell Vallum to always pass all connections by Microsoft apps. With Vallum you can create rules that applies to all apps signed by a specific developer. For example Google, Adobe and all major developers use the same Developer ID for all their apps. For example, using a single rule you can tell Vallum to always block all inbound connections when you are not connected to your home WiFi hotspot.ĭeveloper ID is used to identify a macOS developer or company. So one single ruleset can be used for all network locations.
