csrutil

[jimo piot]

if i am given instructions on how to install something (huawei dongle) and it says "disable csrutil" do i have to subsequently reenable it at some point (it doesnt mention this in the instructions) or does it need to stay disabled or reenable automatically?

Anything that asks you to disable SIP should be carefully considered for installing in the first place.. esp coming from Huawei...

Unless the need for this is well documented by the manufacturer on WHY they require this..

thanks!; by manufacturer do you mean apple or huawei? there doesn't seem to be any other way to do it.

I would research what that and SIP are before disabling them.

I would not use that dongle. In my opinion, there is no reason that a dongle should require turning off SIP.

What huawei dongle is this that requires SIP to be disabled?

DON'T disable SIP. Without it the kernel security is severely compromised. Ok for and needed for some development, but I never leave it disabled.

When a company with a history of data-mining accusations asks you to deactivate a security feature of your computer...watch out.

Don’t use that dongle. There is a big risk. If you are after 4G connection just use your phone hotspot.
