About
NetBlocker is a simple outbound firewall for Apple Silicon Macs. Drag an app in from Finder and it stops the app's new network connections, along with the bundled helpers, XPC services and background processes it finds under the same rule. There are no per-connection prompts to answer and no traffic inspection: it uses Apple's Network Extension framework to make a local allow or block decision, and rules stay on the Mac. Connections that are already open are not cut, so quit and reopen an app after blocking it. Signed and notarized, requires macOS 13 or later.
