I have disabled Windows Firewall, the antivirus, and the router has all ports open. The PC having the trouble is running Windows 7.
#BLOCK OUTGOING CONNECTIONS FOR A PROGRAM MAC FOR MAC OS#
In Mac OS (which essentially is FreeBSD under the hood), the equivalent is ipfw (IP Firewall) and for Mac OS 10.7 onwards, ipfw has been deprecated in favour of pf (Packet Filter). I have a program that uses a servers port 1099 but my computer cannot connect (times out). Whilst it has a GUI, the set of blocked applications can be controlled via the command line by modifying the config file /Library/Objective-See/LuLu/ist as explained in the Lulu webpage (near the bottom). you want to implement a custom application of your own (similar to Little Snitch), then you should get yourself familiar with the concept of iptables (linux systems routinely use this to control access rights to specific hosts and ports). You can use the Lulu open-source macOS firewall that aims to block unknown outgoing connections, unless explicitly approved by the user. If you are talking about "under the hood" level implementation - i.e. You can block access to certain sites outbound, block certain applications outbound, or prevent a single app from accessing a specific IP address or domain name outbound. There is a 4th way - if you are talking about writing code and implementing your own script or your own custom app. For those of you that don't know what Little Snitch is, it's a Mac program that detects outbound connections and lets you set up rules to block connections.

The macOS also comes with a built-in firewall to protect the system.

There are 3 ways to do this on Mac OS X without requiring you to do a lot more. Block a Program from Accessing the Internet for Mac.
