Thanks for testing to see if the script would work on other OSs... Marek 
talked about that quite a bit and suggested the Mac could not do this. 
If Windows can I bet it would work on macOS, too.

I never understood why he had his scripts quitting apps instead of 
having a firewall that prevents those apps from using the standard IP 
address.
