I don't use Windows but on macOS it means that you can allow an application by name, without having to worry about possibly random ports. On my Mac: # /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --listapps ALF: total number of apps = 2 1 : /Applications/Skype.app ( Allow incoming connections ) 2 : /usr/local/bin/unbound ( Block incoming connections ) #
