Hide My IP is a program that you can use to prevent hackers from acquiring your real IP address. It offers IP rotation service to make the users 'anonymous' on the web. You can configure the proxy service as much as you want. It also allows you to select certain applications to use the Hide My IP proxy. However, you only need to type ifconfig at the terminal to view a detailed list of information for all of the network devices connected or integrated into your Mac. That includes IP and MAC addresses, current device status, and more. You can view specific information by listing the device id (for example, ifconfig en0) instead. Technically this isnt blocking the MAC address. It essencially blocks ARP traffic from that mac address, there for IP traffic sort of doesnt work. But it will do the job. You can also give that mac address a DHCP reservation then block that IP Address with an ACL.
You can limit access to users with block access by location to reduce unauthorized access. When block access by location restrictions are set in a user’s profile and the user tries to log in from a blocked location, access to customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation), are blocked.
Requirements
A subscription to Azure Active Directory Premium.
A federated Azure Active Directory tenant. See What is Conditional Access?
Block access is only enforced during user authentication. This is done by the Azure Active Directory Conditional Access capability. Customer engagement apps set a session timeout limit to balance protecting user data and the number of times users are prompted for their sign-in credentials. Block access for devices (including laptops) is not applied until the session timeout expires.
For example, block access is setup to only allow access to customer engagement apps when users are working from a corporate office. When a user signs in into customer engagement apps using their laptop from their office and establishes a session, the user can continue to access customer engagement apps after leaving the office until the session timeout expires. This behavior also applies to mobile and offsite connections such as: Dynamics 365 for Phones and Tablets, and Dynamics 365 App for Outlook.
You can block access to all Users or groups of users. It's more efficient to restrict by a group if only a subset of your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) users are accessing customer engagement apps.
For information, see: Create a basic group and add members using Azure Active Directory.
Block access by location is set using Azure Active Directory (AD) Conditional Access. For the cloud app, select Common Data Service to control access to customer engagement apps (such as Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service).
Note
Setting Conditional Access is only available with an Azure Active Directory Premium license. Upgrade your Azure AD to a Premium license in the Microsoft 365 admin center (https://admin.microsoft.com > Billing > Purchase services).
To create a block access by location for your users:
Create a Named location. See Define locations.
Create a Conditional Access policy. See Create a Conditional Access policy.
For Step 6. Under Cloud apps or actions, select the Common Data Service application.
There are many ways to blocks unwanted websites on a Mac OS X. The first that comes into your mind might be the Mac built-in parental controls, which is perfectly easy to be done.

There are many options in Chrome Nanny. You can set it according to your own choices.
Notice: Browser like FireFox or Google Chrome has its own add-ons or extensions to block sites. However, no one works with Safari or the whole Mac system. Mac OS X has Hosts file just like Windows. We can also edit Hosts via Terminal on a Mac to block specific websites that you don't want to be accessed. Not only does it work in Safari, but also it works with the whole Mac system.
◆ Use Terminal to Block Websites on Mac
1. Click the 'Finder,' select 'Applications,' choose the 'Utilities' folder and click 'Terminal.'
2. Type 'cp /etc/hosts ~/Desktop/hosts.txt' (without the quotes) to copy your current hosts.txt file to the desktop as backup.
3. Type 'sudo pico /etc/hosts'.
4. Enter your Macintosh administrator password and press 'Enter.'
5. Use the arrow key to move the block cursor down to the bottom of the file and enter the IP address '127.0.0.1' followed by the domain name you want to block. This tells the computer that the address for that domain is now that IP number 127.0.0.1, which is your local Macintosh, and the browser won't be able to resolve that domain to a Web page.
6. Press 'Ctrl-X' to exit after you have entered all the domains you wish to block. The domains need to be on separate lines. You will be prompted to save. Press 'Y' for Yes.
7. Please run the following command in Terminal to take the changes take into effect:
①If you are using Mac OS 10.4.X, please type the following and press Enter:
lookupd –flushcache
②For Mac OS 10.5.X and later, it can be done by entering the following and press Enter:
sudo dscacheutil –flushcache
8. Click the Terminal menu and select Quit Terminal to exit.
9. Open Safari and type in the domains you blocked in the hosts file. All other browsers on your machine will be blocked from accessing that domain as well. You can enter as many domains as you want into the hosts file, but put each command on a new line and remember this action blocks them from all users of the computer, including you.
We can block any sites we don't allow to on Mac by modifying the host file. However, we do not recommend this way if you are not proficient at Mac.
Most of the ways above can only block site one by one. If you want to block porn content in large scale, such as blocking sites by keywords, you may need a professional filter, like the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mac website blocker xxxx. It has more options then free ways and It is quite easy to use.
