Takes a long time to mount if Internet access is blocked

If Internet access for fuse-t is blocked with LuLu, fuse-t will take a long time to mount the drive. My guess is some sort of update check that's causing the delay before the successful mount.

What's LuLu? Can you execute ping fuse-t and tell how much time it takes ?

@macos-fuse-t LuLu is like a firewall for macOS. You can find it here: https://objective-see.org/products/lulu.html

Here's the output from ping:

More specifically, I've found the following rule to be the culprit:

Apps that rely on fuse-t work immediately with the rule set to allow, while blocking it causes a delay of around 10-15 seconds or so.
