      When someone wants to join my LAN world, i must first turn off my firewall, even if minecraft is on the list of allowed applications. Window asking for permition to connect pops up, when i hit "Open to LAN", but immediately disappears so i can't click it. World appears in multiplayer menu for other players, even its not working. Tested on 2 computers with OSX. Not sure if this is problem of Minecaft or OSX.

      What I expected to happen was...:
      When i open my world to lan with firewall on, people on same wifi can joint without any problems.

      What actually happened was...:
      When people try to join my world, they freeze on Connecting screen until i don't turn off my firewall.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Start LAN world on OSX with firewall on.
      2. Try to joint with another computer
      3. When other computer freeze on Connecting screen, turn off firewall on first computer.
