Applies to: Intego ONE for Mac · Firewall
A firewall rule tells Intego ONE whether to allow or block an app’s internet or local network connection. Create a rule when you want to allow a blocked app or stop an app from connecting.
Automatic Rule Creation
When Traffic Filtering is on, Intego ONE automatically shows a pop-up whenever a new app or domain tries to access your network. When the pop-up appears, choose:
- Allow — Let the app or domain access your network.
- Deny — Block the app or domain from accessing your network.
- Allow Only Once — Let it access your network for the current session only.
Manual Rule Creation

In Intego ONE, click Firewall. In the main dashboard, find the New Rule and select Create.
➋ Select the application
Choose which app the rule applies to:
- Suggested Apps: Choose one of the three apps you recently opened.
- Any App: Apply the rule to all apps.
