[MAC] Firewall notification pops up after every reboot

[saturnotaku]

See the following screenshot for a message that pops up every time I reboot my system and have Adguard set to launch at startup. This message comes from the built-in OS X firewall, which I have enabled. If the firewall is disabled, the message does not appear.

Adguard 1.0.36 beta and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.

Could you please show a screenshot with your firewall settings?

Here you go.

Does Adguard use a valid certificate? If so, this *may* workaround these type of issues (and potential issues with Gatekeeper too). I haven't had time to check.

Yes we do, even two certs, one for app and second for kernel extension.

Steam had the same issue last month where the firewall notification would pop up every time the program launched. They were able to fix it, so I have to imagine it will be the same for Adguard.

This should no more be a problem with a new beta update we released today. Hope it helps!

I will update when I get home. Appreciate the fast turnaround.

1.0.37 beta did not fix the firewall pop-up appearing after every restart. It also appears to have broken the ability to block ads on Youtube. In the older beta and with the browser extension, the ad at the top of the page, as shown in the screenshot, is properly blocked. This happens in both Chrome and Safari. Also, the little Adguard assistant icon does not appear in the lower right corner of either browser.

Edit: Reinstalled 1.0.36 and all is back to normal, save for, of course, the issue with the firewall notification appearing after reboot.

Also, is it OK to have the browser extension installed concurrently with the software? It seems that having one defeats the purpose of the other. Just curious.

Oh boy, I hope the HTTPS issue didn't creep into the Mac version.

It must have because I added SeaMonkey as a filtered application (this browser is not filtered by default), and no HTTPS sites work as a result.

Confirmed the issue with youtube, don't know how we've missed it

Yes it's ok. Also Chrome and Firefox versions are integrated with desktop software:

This youtube issue is now fixed in 1.0.39.

It is, however, the firewall popup issue is still present. See attached.

Thanks for reminder, we are aware of this, and working on the fix atm.
