On the little snitch website (http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/download.html) they actually have a developer preview just for Mountain Lion.

This makes sense that it doesn't work, it requires a kernel extension to work and in this case, it needs to be recompiled against the new Lion's kernel.

Version 2.3.7 nightly (1974), May 26, 2011
Works perfect on 10.7 DP4 MacBook 2,2
The trial version works 100% only that it has to be relaunched every 3 hours.
be sure to check on
apple>about this mac>more info…>system report…>software>Time since boot:

To see how long the computer has been connected before installing software.

Please note: Until the official version of Lion is released, there's a special version of Little Snitch that is compatible with the pre-releases of Lion.

You can find this version at:

http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/download.html

under "Little Snitch Nightly Build".

So, there _is_ a version of Little Snitch, that works fine with Lion - it's just as "unofficial" as Lion currently is :)

Versin 2.4 clearly states that it _is_ compatible with Lion…

2.4.2 stopped working for me after the Lion 10.7.1 update.

Double-clicking the app does nothing and it's definitely no longer running in the background…..

2.4.0 does not work well in 10.7.1. Before Lion update worked well but now you can't access App Store or Software Update.

This works, but be sure to download the latest version of LittleSnitch and update your install. If you don't, you'll get loads of respawns. Check your system.log (use the Console app) for:

(at.obdev.LittleSnitchUIAgent): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

Before Lion I never saw these.
After updating LittleSnitch these never happened again.
