Just started a few days ago, about a week after I had updated chrome. I have checked the firewall rules, and the rule to block incoming connections is there, so why does it keep popping up every time I launch chrome for the first time after a bootup? Has this happened to anyone else?

I was doing some browsing through my computers settings today and stumbled across this and after going through it it seems as if some of these connections are either malicious or just sound that way.. But a lot of them dont sound familiar in the slightest.. So i was wondering does anyone else...

I have an elderly parent in another province having issue with their high sierra on their mac. I had remoted it to troubleshoot and couldn't figure it out. The issue is there was some websites connecting to the website like youtube and google, but the rest of the sites were not. In safe mode...

Got a popup after booting up today asking to deny or allow incoming connections on Timed, which as I understand it is a daemon for time synchronisation. What I don't understand is what triggered this? Surely time sync happens fairly regularly, so why is it only asking about incoming connections...

Hi, Hoping to find a best available & free firewall and VPN for my MacBook air. Firewall: I've read some of the reviews about AntiVirus Bit Medic and am not sure I really understand the tech speak. Saw Paragon software in the apps store too and that seems solid, but I am no expert. VPN...

As I’m looking to replace my aging airport/time-capsule devices I’ve decided to rework my home network in general. with more IOT devices, people staying at our house, kids, etc. I’ve been thinking it would be great to get a firewall of sorts (pfsense?) one feature I would really like is to see...

Searched and found that Little Snitch cannot meet the App Store guidelines because it would interact with multiple other apps: https://twitter.com/littlesnitch/status/745554553022537729 but was wondering if there was an app out there that performed similarly and was available (ideally) for...

Hello all, I came across a quite disturbing issue. Well, as of last week my local university campus had decided to shut off my ethernet port because I was using a router/switch which goes against their guidelines. (stupid IT department) I tried explaining to them I still needed to use my...

Hello, I have an ASUS RT-AC3100 router on ASUSwrt Merlin, and something seems to be preventing my iPhone from using Wi-Fi Calling. When on any other network, it works fine, but on my network, the "Wi-Fi Calling" carrier signal shows up only for a second, as if the VPN tunnel is terminated. I...

I have been getting this dialog every time I boot for a long time on two macs: Do you want the application
“EEventManager.app" to accept incoming
network connections? Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior.
This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of

Any thoughts on which is better, especially for monitoring outbound traffic?

Hello guys I would like to know how do I deny incoming and outgoing connections with an IP range? (for example 1.1.1.1 - 1.1.1.255) I want to perform this task directly into the OS without using any third party software like Little Snitch or DNS or router filtering.

Hi folks, just upgraded my MBP to El Capitan, and now I can't screen-share to it unless the firewall is down. Just to be clear, Screen Sharing is working fine by itself: clients cannot connect only when the default OS X firewall is active. I'm running no other firewall software, and my...
