I cannot seem to find anywhere how to open a specific port on OS X Yosemite. I understand that I can use 'Little Snitch' in order to open a port, but I would love to do it from the command line.

This is for a Firewall port.

  • What do you mean by opening specific port? Like changing firewall rule to allow trafic on port? – Mateusz May 31 '15 at 14:04
  • Yes, if I go to my firewall in the system preferences, there is not option for a specific port... Only for applications. I need to open port 9050 so I can set my safari to send requests through Tor – Wir3d_Gh0st May 31 '15 at 14:52

  • I actually tried that (without loading (last step)) and it didn't work. So I loaded it and rebooted and still no success... I use https://check.torproject.org to check if it works. – Wir3d_Gh0st May 31 '15 at 15:08
  • Hi @Wir3d_Gh0st same problem here. In my case I have completely disabled the firewall. Still no ports other than 80, 443 can be accessed, even though some process is listening. – Santanu Dey Jul 22 '15 at 11:44

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it belongs on the Apple SE. – TylerH Dec 22 '16 at 21:28
