Block incoming connections

[xtempo]

How do I do this automatically when foreign computers try to access my main mac or parrells win 10

It is rather annoying to have a window pop up with some address wanting access the machine and I want to block everything but I have figured it out. I have yet to see one that I trust so if is possible to block everything I would be ecstatic but if I can get some I would be happy.

thanks for your time and Merry Christmas.

Little Snitch is great app to use for this purpose. It allows you to be very selective with what you decide to block, and it keeps a record of all your IP blocking decisions (which you can go back and change at any time).

There's a firewall in "System preferences" -> "Security & privacy". It's great for blocking incoming traffic, and it's free!

Your Router may have the option to block URL's / IP's.

I am using that but I still get the incoming connections window. I seem to have gotten this after upgrading.

I've used it some but somehow I broke my ability to press links to another page or video like youtube. any advice?

There are other apps as well, and speaking of, is Little Snitch still better than HandsOff? Does LS now support both incoming and outgoing connections?
