In the FAQ, bottom of page:

> Do I need LuLu if I've turned on the built-in macOS firewall?

> Yes! Apple's built-in firewall only blocks incoming connections. LuLu is designed to detect and block outgoing connections, such as those generated by malware when the malware attempts to connect to it's command & control server for tasking, or exfiltrates data.



Confusing, since they use the PF filter, you can absolutely block outgoing connections, atleast by port, app or user


Thanks!
