I don't use Windows but on macOS it means that you can allow an |
| 11 |
application by name, without having to worry about possibly random |

ports. |

On my Mac: |

|
| 16 |
# /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --listapps |
| 17 |
ALF: total number of apps = 2 |

1 : /Applications/Skype.app |
| 20 |
( Allow incoming connections ) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2 : /usr/local/bin/unbound |
| 23 |
( Block incoming connections ) |
