You have to use the Cisco Umbrella test pagehttps://welcome.opendns.com (notwww.internetbadguys.com which redirects to the Apple web site) to see that their network is protected by Cisco Umbrella. This stance is quire different from their advertising that Apple is “safe”. Contrast that with the photo I posted showing I can’t block mask and mask-h2 on my Cisco Umbrella.  I had to use the dig command instead of nslookup (which returned no values)… leading me to believe Apple doesn’t advertise their use of Cisco Umbrella.

This does play well with others. It supposed to stop DNS leak and in the process las no local or other DNS resolution. You home network devices will be harder to find. It might be better for coffee shops/networks you don’t manage. Plus Google… and some other ISPs/network admins have their own DNS bypass/leaks that sometimes circumvent Umbrella. This is meant to stop that.

Fixed a port 53 issue in Vallum for  Cisco/Umbrella clients as well.  changelog 10/27/23Added Vallum 4.1.2.zip - this seems to be a silent update that isn’t seen via the check for updates in the app… but is on the website. changelog 10/29/23Fixed qn issue with Vallum and Vallum_UmbrellaDNSOnly where 3rd Party Apps weren’t allowed communication. This also prevented updates… I think. I was unable to update to 13.6.1 and had to allow everything. These Vallum configurations may be revised shortly. changelog 10/30/23Added the following iCloud sites to the Cisco Umbrella Global Allow List: p25-content.icloud.comp23-content.icloud.comp27-content.icloud.comp63-content.icloud.comp59-sharedstreams.icloud.com changelog 11/6/23Cleaned up inbound outbound rules for Murus and Murus_UmbrellaDNSOnly.Fixed Vallum and Vallum_UmbrellaDNSOnly rules - removing 3rd party apps rule.changelog 11/12/23Added p55-content.icloud.com to the Global Allow List in Cisco Umbrella.  changelog 11/12/23Added foodcoop.com to the Global Allow List in Cisco Umbrella.

The hunt is on for what changed. I think it was done to facilitate QUIC protocol.  More research is needed…. I just know I needed to re-enable ipv6 on Wi-fi and Thunderbolt Bridge and remove all ipv6 blocking rules and enable ipv6 on DNS and it looks like sscopmce protocol is used in lookup… which I had disabled. Still finding what changed… Vallum is broken for my mobile hotspot at least.Changelog 12/19/23I removed the NEW_Vallum and NEW_Murus rules as I can’t find what changed and I think it makes the machine insecure own order to get an internet connection. Changelog 1/26/24New Vallum and Vallum_UmbrellaDNSOnly rules… less restrictive with what process can talk to Umbrella servers and added a block for protocol 7 (CBT -https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc2189/) on the inbound and outbound.

Removed books on ipv6-local-nets on the inbound and outbound sideRemoved a local block for the Accordance app.Cleaned up the StIGS… I use the default ones (with some modifications from the Public DOD site). :-) AppControl silences some apps on my system that I don’t like… sorta like removing apps on your iPhone.

Changed DHCP to allow outbound 67, 547 for ipv4 and ipv6Changed DHCP tp allow inbound 68,  546 for ipv4 and ipv6 respectively. There may be an issue with hotspot DHCP (a protocol or apple process that bypasses/escapes certain rules)  and iCloud syncing (a hidden process I’m looking for). Changelog 2/27/24I switched from Cisco Meraki to Jam NOW! Way better. Changelog 3/13/24Removed Haley SSH from the Lists Library as it seems to be maxing out the memory usage for Murus.https://iplists.firehol.org/files/haley_ssh.ipset#reflected in Murus and Murus_UmbrellaDNSOnlyChangelog 4/4/24Changed the default Restrictions and Password Policy - fixing what seemed to be issues with  the Payload Identifier and the UUID Payload numbers being reused in MDM profile, which might be my fault. But once fixed… it all worked fine. Check those Jamf/MDM logs on what’s being not applied and why. Thank you JaMF> I didn’t see this same details in Meraki.  AppControl has been updated to disable more applications. The restriction is built for a web only system with only a few local apps. The idea is less attach footprint (in minimal external software) and usable avenues… since everything and it’s grandmother now calls to the web.Changelog 4/6/24Removed some rules and added the macsec rules form NIST’s Mac OS Security (high) guidance exactly as typed. Some things are freer and some things have a definitive restriction. This is ofr Murus and Murus_UmbrellaDNSOnly.Updated the AppControl to block access to the Users folder. This might eb really restrictive for applications located in that folder.  Changelog 4/8/24Added the following ip addresses to the Ban lists in DYNDNS in Vallum_UmbrellaDNSOnly (the only Vallum config).

Use at risk as the originator said… that’s written wrong for a reason,. Edited mini script with some passional edits to make some things harder for myself. Use at your own risk. Removed from the Ban list in Vallum_UmbrellaDNSOnly:added to Ban in Vallum 127.0.0.0/8, 0.0.0.0/8, 192.0.2.0/24, 240.0.0.0/4 to allow sharing again. Removed rule blocking multicast addresses.

Changelog 5/7/24Added a rule to Vallum_UmbrellaDNSOnly for  Cisco’s Developer ID.Removed some honeypot inbound rules. Sorry. Changelog 5/9/24Created a UmbrellaDNSOnly_Haley SSH profile that has the Haley SSH list added back to it. Sometimes the list causes a memory error on my M1 MacBook Air (2020). But it might run fine on all your newer (2021+) machines.http://iplists.firehol.org/?ipset=haley_ssh Changelog 5/21/24I am getting some errors with Murus and Murus_UmbrellaDNSOnly loading on system startup… so I am removing some lists that never update.

I’m using Imazing Profile Editor. It has a caveat: if you add a configuration change and then remove it, a change is made to the profile… it adds a hidden VPN configuration (or so is recorded by Jamf NOW) that prohibits it being applied. Dot this I s and cross those T s like crosshairs. +. x-xChangelog 6/11/24Added p49-content.icloud.com and p32-content.icloud.com to the Cisco Umbrella Global Allow List.Updated Restrictions Policy 5 with the Apple Profile updates via Amazing Profile Editor.

Set apps to open Fullscreen.Changeling 10/1/24Change the removal date for the Restrictions Policy 6 Profile. Added the Vallum 5 Umbrella_DNS_Only config. My version of Umbrella DNS is going away… I cannot renew it so I am looking for an alternative. In fact, all Home version of Umbrella are going away. You’ll have to purchase a Corporate version at a corporate price point. Also, Cisco has removed the personal store for updating your credit cards and renewing ahead of expiration.

Changelog 3/9/25I’m not running Murus or Vallum anymore… really none of their software at the moment. I’m switching to manually running pf. I’ve uploaded my /etc/pf.conf file.I am running Cisco Umbrella DNS Advantage with Proxy/Application Filtering (most necessary). There is a file called bad_actors.txt which needs to be added to /etc/ along with the pf.conf file. These are IPs I’ve noted for having intrusive traffic I didn’t initiate… hacking basically. Some attacked network devices, routing on the internet, or a machine directly. I will be updating pf in the future with ip list filtering. #command line (Terminal) pf commands:less /etc/pf.conf (see your pf.conf file)sudo pfctl -s all (see what’s running in pf)sudo pfctl -n -f /etc/pf.conf (check this pf configuration file for errors)sudo pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf (load pf with this configuration file)sudo vi /etc/pf.conf (edit mode)Man vi - tutorial for vi editingMan pfctl -0 tutorial for managing pfctl (the loader for pf) Changelog 03/17/25Mac OS will clear the pf.conf file after each OS update and it has to be pf.conf.Please be aware and copy the pf.conf file I have posted back to the folder. I am testing the following rule: antispoof for self (but having issue with Cisco Umbrella making it's connection from localhost to 127/::1 - which performs lookups)block drop in log for any os “unknown” -  this like the rule above will block any unknown os (this also break Cisco Umbrella from connecting to itself since it’s not fingerprinted in pf.os). DHCP included! I am using block drop log out for any os “unknown” which seems safe for Cisco Umbrella.Changelog 03/18/25Fixed the antispoof for self rule. Everything works!
