Internet sharing not working after Sequoia update

I had some issues with internet sharing so I updated to Sequoia believing it was a system issue.

Before the update, it kinda worked ( at least I could enable it) but now it seems that it has a problem with the Firewall I believe ( disable is not an option). " this service is currently unavailable"

The only clue I see is from you image


" Caching This service has been configured by a Profile "


To avoid a session of Q&A, Q&A  and Q&A  


Download the Application Etrecheck ( External Link ) directly from the Developer.


This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.


It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer 


The application is free or paid for added features. 


The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information.

How has it been determined this is a Firewall issue and not something else ?


The Builtin Apple Firewall could be configured to block


  • Block all incoming connections, regardless of app.


  • Automatically allow built-in software to receive incoming connections.


  • Automatically allow downloaded and signed software to receive incoming connections.


  • Add or deny access based on user-specified apps.


  • Prevent the Mac from responding to ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) probing and portscan requests.
