To protect the security of the computer, in addition to anti-virus software, another means is a firewall. The firewall has two main purposes: 1) To resist the attack of the external network on the local computer; 2) To effectively control the access of the local program to the Internet. It's a pity that Windows' built-in firewall has a single function and poor usability, so there are a large number of third-party firewall programs. Of course, all third-party firewalls implement corresponding functions based on the operating mechanism of Windows' built-in firewall.

Even worse, the inbuilt firewall program of Mac OS is only able to control incoming connections, has no monitoring and controlling capabilities for outgoing connections.
