Little Snitch, ZoneAlarm, Outbound Firewalls, Blech! Decides that revealing your data to Apple's servers is OK but you do not, then the application fails. Closer to the behavior of Little. Little Snitch is a utility that monitors all incoming and outgoing connections and allows you to nominate which to allow or block on a temporary or permanent basis, I've used it for years and found it an excellent and reliable application that doesn't interfere with anything else on the Mac.
The built-in firewall monitored, and blocked, only incoming network traffic, and Little Snitch was one of the available options for dealing with outbound network traffic. With Little Snitch 2 (; $25), Objective Development has delivered a worthy successor.

Little Snitch is a host-based application firewall for macOS. It can be used to monitor applications, preventing or permitting them to connect to attached networks through advanced rules. It is produced and maintained by the Austrian firm Objective Development Software GmbH.
Unlike a stateful firewall, which is designed primarily to protect a system from external attacks by restricting inbound traffic, Little Snitch is designed to protect privacy by limiting outbound traffic.[2] Little Snitch controls network traffic by registering kernel extensions through the standard application programming interface (API) provided by Apple.[3]
If an application or process attempts to establish a network connection, Little Snitch prevents the connection. A dialog is presented to the user which allows one to deny or permit the connection on a one-time or permanent basis. The dialog allows one to restrict the parameters of the connection, restricting it to a specific port, protocol or domain. Little Snitch's integral network monitor allows one to see ongoing traffic in real time with domain names and traffic direction displayed.
The application (version 4) received a positive 4.5/5 review from Macworld.[4]
