Network Lock: What do I do when something is asking to go through my firewall?

[JoeyJojo 0]

Basically, after I enable network lock several programs ask for permission to go through my firewall (bittorrent sync, plex, qbittorrent) and I don't know what I should do. Will letting them through cause my IP to leak if AirVPN goes down?
