Resetting the firewall?

we have Yosemite on both of our Macs at home; an early-2008 Mac Pro and a 2013 iMac. the firewall on both of the Macs is broken.
when the firewall is broken, processes are listed instead of packages, and the firewall actually stops all traffic irrespective of the custom app settings. turning the firewall off and on again does not fix the problem. removing all processes from the custom list does not fix the problem. rebooting the Mac does not fix the problem. in the past, complete clean reinstallation of the OS did not fix the problem.
with Mavericks, I was able to delete the alp.plist file (/Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist) and reboot to fix the problem. that's no longer possible with Yosemite because Yosemite seems to be caching the data and reinstating it after a reboot. the result is that the firewall is permanently broken.
both of our Macs are now exposed because their firewalls need to be turned off to allow file sharing and screen sharing to work. don't tell me that because we're behind an NAT router that we don't need our firewalls. that's rubbish!
I've reported this serious security bug to Apple multiple times. they're acknowledged it privately but have so far been unable to fix it.
does anyone know how to reset the firewall on Yosemite?
a Terminal command-line would be nice.
any other pref/setting/config files that I could delete to reset the firewall?
cheers,
Gregory

that worked before Yosemite.
I've found that I can usually reset the firewall now by:
open Security & Privacy/Firewall/Firewall Options and delete all of the services/processes/applications.
turn off the Firewall.
turn off all Sharing services.
turn on the Sharing services I need.
turn on the Firewall.
at this point, I usually get asked to allow/reject access to a process (not application) called 'kdc'. I allow this process because it seems to be involved in the Firewall process itself. when I then open Firewall Options, the 'kdc' process will however not be listed, and the Firewall seems to work as expected.
fortunately, this method seems to work and doesn't require a Reboot... at least for now.
I don't know if it matters, but I've also changed another security aspect on our Macs. I now have a dedicated Admin account. our 'people' accounts no longer have admin privileges. someone here in the discussions community suggested this for better security and it makes a lot of sense. this change means that during the Firewall reset procedure above, I have to enter the admin's account/password 3 or 4 times but I don't mind the extra hassle for the extra security.

  • Download connections doesn't close after I cancel the download, it keep like I am download and only close when I disable the network adapter or reset the router or the firewall

    download connections doesn't close after I cancel the download, it keep like I am downloading and only close when I disable the network adapter or reset the router or the firewall.
    I use pfsense as my firewall and see the traffic not reseting to zero when I cancel download.
    Also, IE doesn't have this problem. When I cancel the download the traffic drops to zero.

    And this problem seems to be systemwide. Since I created a new user and under which problem still exists.
    Hope apple will look into it

    I just bought a ipod touch. I am unable to use it because itunes tells me I have no internet connection (unknown error 306). I have tried all the suggestions I can find, including checking the firewall, the no proxy server is checked, resetting cache on itunes, I even scanned the computer with Registry Easy but nothing worked.  I use Mozilla Firefox and have a PC with Windows 7. Obviously, buying a ipod and being unable to use it for 3 days (and counting) because I am unable to register it, is pretty frustrating. Can anyone help?

    Did you try all of this:
    iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
    Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
    To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
    To reset iTunes Store cache:
    In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
    Click the Advanced tab.
    Click the "Reset cache" button.
    Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
    Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
    Open iTunes.
    Access iTunes preferences:
    On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
    On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Parental Controls tab.
    Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
    For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.
    For more information on other security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • Resetting the OSX Firewall

    I was having some network issues and in the course of it I tried specifically stating an app could have access through the firewall.
    Now nothing seems to get through but web browsing. No Yahoo (even though i added it as an App), No Apple Update, No FrontRow, No Connecting to my Airport Router, nothing.
    I added Front Row, Yahoo messenger, AIM, etc, as specific applications even with permissions for both directions but that didn't help. I see the response coming back from the app's servers in the Firewall log even.
    Other than selecting Allow All Incoming Connections, what can I do to reset everything so it can redetermine what to allow and not allow?

  • My mcbook is not conecting to internet. I have some conection in Utorrent but pages are not being displayed in my browsers (chrome and firefox). If I reset the SMC i can get results from google but no other page loads. i get ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.

    My Mcbook cant find the host. I get some conection because my Utorrent has some donwload activity, but when I attempt to open any page i just get a time out and  ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED. If i reset the SMC by removing the battery, google loads perfectly and it gives me search results without any problem. But when I click on any link, or attempt to enter a direct URL it gives me the error mentioned before.
    I restarted the modem, changed the DNS, deactivate the firewall, conect the macbook via ethernet, change the IP, and nothing seems to work. This issue happened the first time i tried to conect to internet in a different country. Internet works fine in any other laptop or mobile device.
    When using the assistant to run a diagnosis on the network, i get the first 4 items (wifi, wifi adjustments, network adjustments and internet provider) with a green light, and the other two (internet and server) with yelow lights (sometmes red light).
    When i tried to connect the first time, i had a OS X 6.8 but i upgraded it to Maverick 10.9, since i had already donwnloaded it, and the result was the same.
    anyone could help me please?

    We usually advice first to Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache in case of such problem and then do a check for extensions to see if any are causing the problem.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Other possible causes can be zooming a page or having increased the minimum font size.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got error when communicating to the server.
    This happens when crawler is not able to connect to the server. Make sure server name is correct. Couple of steps to troubleshoot it
    You should be able to ping the server from the server having crawl component. Make sure there is an entry for the server in the host file under c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder.
              Ping <servername>
          2.  You should be able to connect to the server using telnet command
    Telnet< servername> <port number>
    More information:
    Troubleshooting of FAST Search Configuration
    If the issue still exists, you can delete the old search application and recreate from the beginning.
    You can also reset the index and do a full crawl after.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • How do i get to the firefox window so i can reset the default settings?

    it is very slow online and when i went on today there was a message to reset to default settings. when i clicked that, it told me to go to the firefox window so i could reset. i don't know how to get to the firefox window. firefox immediately goes to my browser which is comcast. when i click on firefox above, it stays in comcast.

    See:

    Try to update to Firefox 29 via Help > About or download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • My older iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 shuts down when it connects to the internet.  Resetting the SMC doesn't help.  What can I do?

    My older iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 shuts down when it connects to the internet.  Resetting the SMC doesn't help.  What can I do?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall

    Hello I recently downloaded an app on my iphone 4s - Remote mouse- so i can control my laptop that is connected to my tv, it used to work fine and now the connection fails, I downloaded another app and the same problem occurs, its not the firewall and both phone and laptop are conected to the same wifi, i also tried to connect it manually with the ip address and still no connection, can you help??

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.(No data loss) Try it again.

  • Restoring the firewall to the defult

    i can not connect to vm in windows azure after restoring the firewall to default
    kindly help

    Hi,
    Did you mean that Windows firewall on the Azure VM or the firewall on your local computer?
    If you mean the firewall on the Azure VM, please use Azure PowerShell cmdlet below to check if VM agent is install on the Windows Azure VM or not:
    (Get-AzureVM -ServiceName xxx -Name xxx).VM.ProvisionGuestAgent 
    note: -Servicename is the name of the cloud service the VM belongs to, -Name is the host name of the VM.
    If it returns "true", it means that VM agent is installed and you can use the Azure PowerShell cmdlet below to enable RDP and the necessary Windows firewall rule:
    Get-AzureVM -ServiceName xxx -Name xxx | Set-AzureVMAccessExtension | Update-AzureVM
    If you mean the firewall on your local computer, then please enable RDP and the related RDP ports for the Azure VMs on your local network.
