1. An application firewall is a form of firewall that controls input/output or system calls of an application or service. It operates by monitoring and blocking communications based on a configured policy, generally with predefined rule sets to choose from. The application firewall can control communications up to the application layer of the OSI model, which is the highest operating layer,.
2. The Application Blocking settings let you configure the firewall rules for the different applications that run on your Mac. Based on these settings, the firewall allows or blocks connections to the Internet from an application.

Continue to Step 8 if you want to make additional adjustments to your Mac’s firewall feature; otherwise, skip to Step 13. (Optional) Click the Add (+) button to add applications that you want to allow or block from communicating over the Internet. A dialog appears, listing the contents of the Applications folder.

In Windows, you can use Windows Firewall to block or unblock certain applications, but it doesn’t offer an easy-to-use interface for its advanced features. If you want to block an application from accessing the internet, you must go through the following steps:

1. Click the Windows Start Menu and open Control Panel
2. Select System & Security
3. Then in the Firewall section, you select “Allow a program through the Windows Firewall”
4. If the program you wish to block or unblock isn’t listed, you must click “Allow another program” to add it. Choose the application in the list and select “Add”. Else you must then browse the hard drive to find it, and so on. This seems complicated for the average user.

Firewall App Blocker makes the process very easy! Simply drag and drop the application you wish to block into the FAB window, or browse the hard disk to find it.That’s it!
