Control Center.app Turning Firewall Off Why is the Control Center.app turning my firewall off? I have a new 2016" MacBook Pro. I just re-imaged it with a fresh Ventura OS because I thought malicious software was turning my (built-in) firewall off. Every time I restart or after 5-10 minutes, my firewall is turned off. I've tried blocking control center, enabling stealth mode, and blocking all incoming connections. Control Center is still changing my firewall to off.

I would never use anything but the build-in one, such third-party apps are usually notorious for causing problems
