Outbound
Mac outbound firewall with per-app, per-host rules
Outbound is an outbound firewall for Mac that lets you control which apps connect and to which hosts, with alerts, rules, and a network monitor.
Overview
Outbound is a Mac outbound firewall that gives you control over application network connections. Unlike macOS's built-in firewall which only blocks incoming connections, Outbound filters outgoing ones on a per-app and per-host basis. You can see every connection your apps make, where they go, and how much data they send, displayed on a map or globe. The app operates in three modes: Learn (allows connections and records them), Ask (prompts you before new connections), and Strict (blocks anything without a matching rule). Features include a network monitor, customizable rules that combine apps with hosts or domains, profiles for different network environments, blocklists, and for managed Macs an HTTPS rule feed and audit export. A command-line tool called outboundctl is also available.

Frequently looked up
- Q1Does the built-in macOS firewall block outgoing connections?
- No. Apple's firewall settings control incoming connections. Outbound filters outgoing ones, per app and destination, so the two do different jobs.
- Q2How much does Outbound cost?
- A personal licence is $39 USD, paid once, and covers 2 Macs. The first 50 licences are $29. A family licence is $59 USD for 5 Macs. Licences include all 1.x and 2.x updates. There's no trial, but you can get a full refund within 14 days of purchase.
- Q3Is there a free trial?
- No. You pay once and get a licence key by email. The download is the full app, and it opens with that key. If Outbound isn't for you, you get a full refund within 14 days of purchase.
- Q4Which Macs does Outbound require?
- macOS 14 Sonoma or later, including macOS 15, 26 and 27, on Apple silicon, and on Intel Macs up to macOS 26. On a macOS newer than 27.2, Outbound asks you to update it.
- Q5Does Outbound collect analytics?
- Only if you turn it on. Anonymous crash reports and usage stats are off by default. Your rules, settings and audit logs are stored on your Mac. The app fetches the blocklists you add and on managed Macs, the rule feed your administrator sets.
