I think you can through the firewall as stated in this article: # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface The name "localhost" works because it is routed here to the ip local host standard address of 127.0.0.1. Launchctl does not support restart like systemctl restart avahi-daemon:(. Sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ To stop all connections to facebook (blasphemy!): # Col 1 Col 2Ġ.0.0.0 Usually the effects are immediate, (like right now I just tried to make sure and it was immediate), but you could unload and reload the multicast dynamic naming service manually. All other lines are parsed in space-separated columns. # is a reserved character for starting ignored text. You need administrator privileges (sudo) for this to work. This rule can be modified and revised/reviewed later.If you know which server an application is trying to contact, and want to stop it from doing so, you can reroute all communication to a bogus IP address (like 0.0.0.0) or just reroute traffic to itself (the local host). Every time you allow or deny a connection, Little Snitch will create a rule. This can be set to once or forever, domain specific or any connection. You can manually block those connections, or allow them. This convenient and 'easy to use' firewall will give notice of any internet connections to or from any of your apps or browser. The biggest name when it comes to firewalls on macOS is Little Snitch. That said, it is by no means the perfect solution and, of course, it wouldn't block macOS-specific apps etc.
Yes, it is that easy to set up the firewall of macOS.
System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Firewall and turn it ON However, Mac's firewall is switched off - by default! Personally, I'll choose Linux over any other desktop or laptop environment, but that doesn't stop me from making some recommendations when it comes to protecting your Mac.įirst things first, Mac comes with a built-in firewall.
