I understand Apple making it super secure for non tech people, but it should provide a way to disable all that stuff for power users. And I mean some setting in the preferences, not hacking the hosts file.


I agree with your premise (a way to disable), but isn’t it better they make it hard to do? Kinda like a competency test to make sure you know what you’re doing.


I do agree. You don't want your grandma or teenager kid changing that setting. But it should be an official way of doing it, not a series of hacks on the OS.


I don't agree, there should be a clearly defined way to do it for safety sake.
