The primary goal of Little Snitch is to block all connectivity by
default. Each time a something attempts to connect to the internet, a
dialog box appears telling you which application process is trying to
connect and some details about the type of connection, and asking you
whether to allow or deny the connection. So you do need to interact with
Little Snitch once you start the network filter if you have services
running on that computer.
