Currently the workaround seems to be /etc/hosts override or firewall-level blocking.

Just a small reminder that this can soon stop working: Apple's apps bypass firewalls like LittleSnitch and LuLu on macOS Big Sur - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24838816

Will they prevent changing hosts file as well?

  • It's more likely that their will be an Apple-only private API that uses /private/etc/hosts which already exists, but is editable (for now) instead of /etc/hosts.
