When I try to save custom settings on Firewall to block the connection to some apps, settings are not saved, or saved for some minutes, and then automatically all permissions are enabled.
This is a very important security problem, how did you solve? Tks
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0
I have same issue with a brand new Mac Studio before installing one app. This is 100% an Apple IOS bug/glitch.
It’s pretty pathetic this is still an issue. I’m guessing way less staff, way less of a priority, no one cares, etc.
It doesn't work for me. It seems to be working, but if you close the control panel and reopen it, you will lose the settings of firewall....
I experience exactly what medialp describes.
Update--turning the firewall off and then on again after making changes didn't work for me to change the SETTINGS for an entry. But it did allow me to DELETE an entry.
Thank you a lot for your suggestion!
I'm having the same issue!
I cannot turn off the stealth mode.
I cannot remove anything in the list.
All the settings and app will be return in few minutes.
This is exhausting!!!!!!!!!
And incredibly Apple doesn't solve this severe bug!👹
Well, they have to!
Let's hope... and wait! :)
🟢 Finally with update of today, 13,4, it seems to be working! 🟢
Same issue on Sonoma 14.1. Firewall settings are being applied only from CLI or after reboot.
I tried it and nothing would save..
BUT....I tried again.this time I waited and bam, it was done..maybe took 2 minutes..so just wait!
click ok several times as well as hit return on your keyboard.
Firewall settings not saving
