What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Block Airdrop outgoing traffic instead of two-way traffic

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

When AirDrop is selected as an exit point, users cannot send or receive files through AirDrop, which completely disables the AirDrop function. We would like to allow users to receive files through AirDrop while only blocking outgoing transfers. This approach maintains security compliance while preserving AirDrop functionality.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

Unchech Airdrop from exit point list.
