can we block these two processes using little snitch? | ||

No. 1) Before macOS boots, LittleSnitch ("LS") does not have any ability to block hostnames, e.g: on every boot, any modern Apple product ignores any manually-configured DNS IP and attempts to phone-home 2) Allegedly, this user profile information is stored locally (so LS wouldn't see any outgoing connection attempt to Apple servers) 3) LS does not block DNS-resolution, only IP-connection (i.e. your ISP sees all DNS queries, whether you click `ACCEPT` or `DENY` when LS popup asks) 4) If you're using LS with intentions of primary DNS blockage, you have failed; try pi-hole (or other local hardware DNS resolver); use physically-dedicated hardware (e.g: Raspberry Pi) to run your PiHole, not a Docker/Prox/&c 5) I am investigating another user's comment on using TLS certs to DENY-all DNS, but need to research further on this (new info to me!) | ||

But you can probably (as root) remove execute permissions and kill the running daemons. Until the next OS update. | ||

The processes aren't (as far as anyone knows) slinging data over the network. | ||
