Describe the symptom, not the conclusion:
"The firewall is blocking my app"
No, your application has triggered a pop up box with a pre-written string saying it is unable to communicate with a specified server. We do not know anything else about why that happened or what is potentially wrong in the chain of dependencies for that error to appear. The error could be a completely incorrect catch-all. You do not know anything until you start investigating.

@SwiftOnSecurity No joke happened to me:

“The windows firewall is blocking Audacity from picking up the microphone” No, you just accidentally pushed the mute button

I feel the need to specify that the person who blamed the windows firewall was not the end user but a member of the IT support team
