Connected to the Internet, your Mac is no more immune to intrusion than the next computer. To the bad guys, it’s just an IP Address and open ports, and accessing your personal information via these cyber-criminal gateways is easier than you want to know.

Intego NetBarrier for macOS blocks unsolicited visitors in their tracks, keeping the bad guys out of your Mac.

Features and Highlights

Settings as easy as 1-2-3
Just because Intego NetBarrier provides sophisticated firewall protection for Mac doesn’t mean network settings should be confusing and complicated. With simplicity in mind, the intuitive firewall makes it easy for you to adjust settings to the best level of protection.

Two-way Mac firewall watches your network connections
The app is a two-way firewall that provides anti-spyware measures to protect outgoing data sent from your Mac, and also actively monitors applications using your network and keeps you informed when a new connection is opened—letting you block or allow attempts to access your Mac

Intuitive and easy to configure firewall
Easy to use and simple to configure, you can customize Intego NetBarrier rules settings to automatically set protection levels perfect for public or private networks. The Mac firewall has you covered with the best level of protection!

Block connections to specific domains
Third party applications can be very useful, but many collect information about you and your business while you use it. Intego Net Barrier for Mac lets you block applications from communicating with specific Internet domains while keeping the functionality you want.
