    Hi,

    I am using Little Snitch on the machine where I use Parallels as well, and I would love to be able to have different Little Snitch rules for different virtual machines. Currently Little Snitch sees all traffic from all machines as coming from a single prl_naptd process.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to have a separate process visible to LS for every VM ? Or any other way to have different LS rules for different machines ?

    Thank you.

    The details are simple, and I don't think they need screenshots to be understandable.
    Whenever a VM initiates a connection out to the Internet, Little Snitch pops up an alert saying that the "prl_naptd" process tries to connect out. The problem is that Little Snitch sees connections from any VM as connections from a single "prl_naptd" process. I was wondering if there is a way to have separate OSX prl_naptd process for every VM or any other way to have Little Snitch rules per VM and not for all VMs combined.

    Thank you.

    Reopening this old thread as the requested feature would be very useful to me.

    A year after the last post, but this would be extremely useful.
