Where Does Vallum Store Rules on Mac?
Where Vallum keeps firewall rules and presets on Mac for backup and full moves to new hardware.
Last updated
Vallum keeps firewall rules and presets under its Application Support folder, enforced by a helper outside the bundle. Murus shares the same engine when both are installed, but rules stay per app.
Copy customs with the firewall paused; the helper reinstalls per Mac and permissions never travel. Reach Library through Go to Folder. Presets reinstall themselves, so customs deserve the backup most on every Mac.
Where Vallum stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/Vallum
Custom rules under Application Support with presets in the bundle. Helper reinstalls per Mac. Pause before copying; re-grant permissions after.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate Vallum to a new Mac?
Copy the Application Support folder with the firewall paused, then reinstall the helper on the new Mac. Rules travel in files; enforcement needs the fresh install. Re-grant permissions after restoring.
Preset rules or custom rules: what travels?
Open Vallum rules and read the per app entries; the files mirror them. Presets ship inside the bundle while customs live in support. The UI always shows the live set.
