. You can install IPFW. You cannot install IPFW from a FreeBSD package because its is meant for FreeBSD. Yes, macOS is actually based on FreeBSD, but it is. Ipfw-classifyd v.1.0 An application layer classifier for FreeBSD's ipfw firewall. PeerSniper v.1.0 PeerSniper allows the complete removal of the PeerGuardian software from your system and resets the ipfw filters to allow acces back to blocked addresses such as apple.com Just run the app, enter your administrator pass, and it will do the rest.
I see some really bloated rule sets out there and I am left shaking my head going 'no!' the only rules you need to stop nasties are the ones I currently have. Do not add random block's to 'UDP' on service ports like 53 which is for DNS (Domain Name Service) or you will turn your internet off!

It's easier to just click stealth mode enabled, fire up WaterRoof click clear all previous rules and import the rule's from text and apply the rules.
Then as an added preferance if you dont want 120mb of disk space to be chewed up everytime your firewall blocks something and log's it you can just disable the log-file...

Firewall's on BSD & Linux are very much Configure & Forget!
You really dont have to sit there watching them like a 'Hawk!'

An if its already setup to block the bad stuff, by watching the blocked stuff, that just leads to Paranoia!
Then you end up blocking random stuff, that you actually need.
Caution when messing with firewall settings!
