Rapportd constantly asking for incoming connection on my iMac running macOS 13.7.3

Or you can remove this Little Snitch app, and return to a configuration that operates as Apple expects.

If you want to persist wirh the app, allow all connections.

rapportd is a daemon associated with a macOS private framework, and is part of normal operations. The rapport framework is associated with Apple continuity and iCloud-related features, as well as with Siri and Bonjour activity based in the private framework headers.

A second and likely-unrelated-to-this-case rapportd is part of an IBM Trusteer package.

Beyond the country level, IP geolocation is inaccurate at best, assuming the add-on tool is reporting correct info.

I would, however, be cautious about posting public IPv6 addresses.

And I’d wonder if this IPv6 address is associated with your own host or your own local network, whether that network is run by Verizon or otherwise, or as is reported to be located in Virgina, New York, Maryland, or elsewhere.

I'l reach out to Little Snitch to see if they have any insight as to this particular incoming request. I'm familiar with what rapportd is and what it does. As I mentioned previously, it just seemed strange that all of a sudden 'something' would start trying to connect to it. As this thread moved along and I dug a little deeper it does seem that the IPv6 address is associated with my router as it is provided by Verizon.

LS appears to be a very polarizing app. Some people hate it, but others find it valuable. It's served me well over the years.
