Questions, answered
The details that matter.
Does NetBlocker inspect my traffic?
No. NetBlocker blocks connections by app identity. It does not read web pages, passwords, messages, or the contents of your traffic.
Why do I need to approve a system extension?
macOS requires your explicit permission before an app can filter network connections. NetBlocker guides you to the right setting during setup.
What happens to connections that are already open?
NetBlocker stops new connections. Quit and reopen the blocked app once to ensure any existing connections are closed.
Does NetBlocker find helper apps and background processes?
Yes. NetBlocker scans embedded helpers and XPC services, then observes the real source process behind related connections. Components it can confidently associate with the blocked app are added automatically and shown in its process list.
Does it support Intel Macs?
No. NetBlocker is designed exclusively for Apple silicon Macs — M1 or newer.
