Does Bitdefender for Mac have a firewall?
I followed the installation video and set up my Anti Virus for Mac, but when I was looking in the system settings under Network it said that the firewall was inactive? Is this the firewall built into the MAC or is Bitdefender using its own? I turned on the firewall under the network settings for the time being.

Hi everyone, I thought it would be a nice idea if you could add a folder to the firewall custom rules, instead of just specific executable files. Any chance we could see this? Cheers

Why does "System has been blocked" keep appearing in firewall application access?
It has no path, no additional details, no explanation to why it's being blocked. I can't add an exception, see it in the rules or anything. What is this and why is it doing this?
