What is incoming connection?
An incoming connection is just that – a connection attempt from a remote system to your machine. Whether it’s benign or not depends on the application. For example I wouldn’t expect most apps to accept incoming connections, but apps like iChat may receive incoming requests for video chat, etc.
What are the security implications of allowing all?
The main benefit of blocking all incoming connection is that if your website gets infected by a trojan and it opens a port for the attacker to connect back. The firewall won’t let the attacker connect (so easily). Basically “Incoming block” means that incoming new connections are blocked, but established traffic is allowed.
Are there any exceptions to the firewall rule?
Select TCP for the network protocol and click OK. By default, macOS computers allow signed software (like Virtual TimeClock) to receive incoming connections and have a firewall that is turned off by default, so the need for exception rules is less common.

Is the application firewall still accessible from the command line?
Earlier ipfw technology is still accessible from the command line (in Terminal) and the application firewall does not overrule any rules set using ipfw. If ipfw blocks an incoming packet, the application firewall does not process it.
