I'm continually getting warning messages from Norton 360, along the lines of, "The computer <insert IP address> is attempting to access <insert service> on your computer. Do you want to allow this connection?". This comes from multiple computers (on my home network, I've checked the IPs) and multiple services. I have selected "Allow" and "Block" options.

Fix repeated Connection Blocking alerts from your Norton device security product for Mac
[...]
The Connection Blocking settings that you configure are specific to the selected network location. If you have changed your network, you may receive the connection blocking alert again. Choose Allow or Block in the Connection Blocking alert window.
