To permanently block outgoing traffic to specific domains you should create a new anchor file and add it to pf.conf. 1. Create an anchor file *org.user.block.out* in /private/etc/pf.anchors sudo touch /private/etc/pf.anchors/org.user.block.out with the following content and a trailing empty line mybadhosts = "{ www.domain.com, domain.com, www.domain2.com, domain2.com }" mybadports = "{ 443, 80 }" block drop out proto tcp from any to $mybadhosts port $mybadports The additional domain names in mybadhosts are just an example how to add additional domains. The same goes for port 80 in mybadports. A simple but less flexible solution is: block drop out proto tcp from any to domain.com port 443 2. Modify the file /private/etc/pf.conf but keep a trailing empty line original file: scrub-anchor "com.apple/*" nat-anchor "com.apple/*" rdr-anchor "com.apple/*" dummynet-anchor "com.apple/*" anchor "com.apple/*" load anchor "com.apple" from "/etc/pf.anchors/com.apple" to scrub-anchor "com.apple/*" nat-anchor "com.apple/*" rdr-anchor "com.apple/*" dummynet-anchor "com.apple/*" anchor "com.apple/*" anchor "org.user.block.out" load anchor "com.apple" from "/etc/pf.anchors/com.apple" load anchor "org.user.block.out" from "/etc/pf.anchors/org.user.block.out" 3. Parse and test your anchor file to make sure there are no errors: sudo pfctl -vnf /etc/pf.anchors/org.user.block.out 4. Now modify /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.pfctl.plist from <array> <string>pfctl</string> <string>-f</string> <string>/etc/pf.conf</string> </array> to <array> <string>pfctl</string> <string>-e</string> <string>-f</string> <string>/etc/pf.conf</string> </array> You have to disable System Integrity Protection to accomplish this. After editing the file reenable SIP. After rebooting your Mac pf will be enabled (that's the -e option). Alternatively you may create your own launch daemon similar to the answer here: [Using Server 5.0.15 to share internet WITHOUT internet sharing][1]. After a system update or upgrade some of the original files above may have been replaced and you have to reapply all changes.
