shihchiun Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 There's a built-in firewall. Don't recall where it is exactly, but it's somewhere in System Preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_c_b Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 yeah i see it but how do you configure it? I believe it automatically denies all unsolicited traffic, which is all you should really need since we don't have malware (at least not without the user purposely ignoring the entire security system in OS X).

Actually it is set by default to accept all incoming connections. And in Snow Leopard it is turned completely off by default. To configure it go to System Preferences - Security - Select the Firewall tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To configure it go to System Preferences - Security - Select the Firewall tab. There's an option to manually configure all connections in the Firewall tab somewhere.
