- memracom 14y agoYes, there are inherent problems with the built-in firewall. The bad guys know it is there so any exploit that they install will likely modify the firewall to cover their tracks. External firewalls can be trusted more than built-in software.
- jlgaddis 14y agoI would be surprised if the built-in firewall even blocks any outgoing connections by default. I'm not on my MBP at the moment so I can't check for sure.
