To ensure proper functionality, disable the [Block all incoming connections](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-firewall-settings-on-mac-mh11783/mac) option in your macOS firewall settings.

Due to changes in macOS Sequoia versions 15.0 through 15.4, you must update your [macOS firewall settings](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-firewall-settings-on-mac-mh11783/mac) to allow the WARP client to manage your device's firewall. Later versions of macOS are not affected because of changes Apple introduced to fix the unexpected breaking changes in their firewall.

To allow the WARP client to function on macOS Sequoia versions 15.0 through 15.4 while still blocking unwanted incoming traffic, follow these steps:
188+
189+
1. Turn off the following [macOS firewall settings](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-firewall-settings-on-mac-mh11783/mac):
190+
- **Block all incoming connections**
191+
- **Automatically allow built-in software to receive incoming connections**
192+
- **Automatically allow downloaded signed software to receive incoming connections**
193+
2. Add the [WARP daemon and GUI processes](#required-scopes) to the firewall exceptions list and set them to _Allow incoming connections_.
194+
3. Restrict the other allow exceptions to only the processes you want receiving traffic.
195+
4. (Optional) Do not grant users administrative privileges, otherwise they will be able to modify firewall settings and exceptions.
