No macOS to choose from on one High Sierra machine #1

I've installed your latest 1.1.2 version of ANYmacOS on a MacBook Pro 13 from 2010 running High Sierra in order to download a later OS to install on a different computer. But no OS shows up in the drop down menu: Bildschirmfoto 2022-07-22 um 17 21 24

Oddly enough, on an almost identical machine, a MacBook Pro 15 from 2010, also running High Sierra, the program works just fine and gives me a choice of all the OS to download. I'm dumbfounded! What could be the problem here?!

SIP (csrutil) was both disactivated and activated and it didn't make a difference what the working of the program and the (non-) choice of OS is concerned on the MBP 13.

Scratch that, I found the solution. I disabled the Lulu firewall and lo and behold, now ANYmacOS shows me the downloadable OS. Still strange since on the other Mac I did not have to do that and Lulu never asked me if I should let ANYmacOS pass so it can look up the paths for the OS. ANYma... errr... anyway, problem solved.
