Steps:
- Start by clicking the Apple logo button at the top left of the screen and then open ‘system preferences’ .
- From system preferences, open ‘Security and privacy’
- In security , open the ‘firewall’ tab.
- Click the padlock and enter your password to be able to make changes.
- Now turn on the firewall.
- Open firewall options.
- Click the plus button to add a new app to the firewall, choose the application you want to block.
- Click where it says ‘allow incoming connections’ and select ‘block incoming connections’.
- This will block the app from receiving any data from the internet. The Mac OS firewall is a bit basic though and doesn’t have the option to block outgoing connections.
- If you need to block an app from having outgoing connections you will need to use a 3rd party option. The easiest and most lightweight one i have found is called “Radio Silence” , you can download it from RadioSilenceApp.com , it does cost $9 but you can get a 30 day free trial to test it.
- Since it is by a 3rd party developer you may be prompted to visit the security setting to allow it to run.
- Once you launch it you can either buy it or start the trial.
- Click ‘block application’ and select your application from the list.
