How switch status in Filters - Network - System Preference?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

Hello Everyone,

This is my first day today of learning Apple script, so far it’s pretty hard to figure out, could you please help me?
I need to change the status from “Disable” to “Enable” every time I restart MacOS Ventura 13.3 in System Preference - Network - Filters.

Thank you!

Weird. In my Mac-Mini (intel), I can’t seem to find a “Filters” section of the Network pane.

Do you have macOS Ventura?

#5

Yes! Ventura Version 13.4

Thanks for this script, but unfortunately I need a script without sudo rights. And I need to change the status for the filter, not for Wi-Fi.

But don’t you have to be an Administrator in order to make changes to the network settings in the GUI?

Also I still haven’t found the “Filters” part of the network pane…

This command works through the terminal and shows all the information and activity, that’s great! Thank you very much! Next I need to figure out how to use this.

And I need to change this status from Disable to Enable every time the laptop will reboot:
* * P8DQRXPVLP com.eset.network (6.11.606/6.11.606) ESET Web and Email Protection [activated enabled]

I found some this solution, but it doesn’t work:

-- Enable ESET Web and Email Protection
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "com.eset.network"
        -- Click on the ESET menu
        click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
        
        -- Check if the menu item is currently disabled
        if value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" of menu item "Disable" of menu 1 of menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2 is not equal to "✓" then
            -- Click on the "Enable" menu item
            click menu item "Enable" of menu 1 of menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
        end if
    end tell
end tell

Why are you trying to solve your problem by setting up an OS rather than setting up Eset?
As far as I understand, such parameters should be configured by antivirus software settings.
In any case, similar settings were in Symantec.
