Where Does Radio Silence Store Rules on Mac?
Where Radio Silence keeps firewall rules and app settings on Mac for backup and full repair.
Last updated
Radio Silence keeps per app firewall rules and monitor state under its Application Support folder, enforced by a helper outside the bundle. The monitor window reads the same files it writes.
Copy rules with protection paused; the helper reinstalls per Mac and permissions never travel with files. Reach Library through Go to Folder. Trial state lives beside rules, so restores can confuse licensing on very different hardware.
Where Radio Silence stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/Radio Silence
Firewall rules and monitor state under Application Support. Helper reinstalls per Mac. Pause protection before copying; re-grant permissions after.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate Radio Silence to a new Mac?
Copy the Application Support folder with protection disabled, then reinstall the helper on the new Mac. Rules travel in files; enforcement needs the fresh install. Re-grant network permissions after restoring.
Where are Radio Silence rules on disk?
Open Radio Silence monitor and read the blocked list; the files mirror it. Rules live under the vendor folder in Library. The monitor always shows the live set.
