      Greetings!
      I've noticed (via litte snitch) that the Cookie application is connecting to an additional DNS address in the range of 173.194.33.x.
      I assume this has something to do with google, but am not sure if it is normal or necessary.
      Can/should I block it?

      my enduring gratitude for your wonderful application...

        Hi Ash,

        Cookie only connects to two servers, depending on which version you run (MAS or non-MAS). Both connect to Apple to verify the GateKeeper credentials. the non-MAS version willl also check my server once a week checking for updates. other than that, I have no idea what Little Snitch is logging?

          thanks for answering so quickly!

          that's what I thought-
          Cookie connects to sweetpproductions.com/www.sweetpproductions.com and has since I installed long ago. Little Snitch is logging a new address in a totally separate ip range from yours and started connecting three or four days ago. I didn't think much of it until the connection repeated.
          The funny thing is that they both connect at the same time, so I thought you might have added something to the code.
          I'll keep an eye on it for a couple of days- a few of the addresses are associated with a Windows IE trojan (neither of which I have).

          take care!
