Hello Lynne, I agree with your thought about the Developer adding an option to the Installer to enable VO access. I used Little Snitch up until 2008 or 9 when I still had enough vision, and I considered it a fantastic little tool and a helpful layer of security. I wouldn’t mind having it active again on my systems. Perhaps I’ll take another look and contact the Dev to see about polishing up accessibility in a future release.
