VMWare-Natd

In Fusion for Mac 8.5, sometimes i get the popup to "allow" or "deny" access to vmware-natd, which i' also positive is networking..

however, i know that the Firewall is related to Apple, but in Sierra, there is a new option in Firewall tab "Automatically allow built in  software to receive incoming network connections"

macOS Sierra: Firewall pane of Security & Privacy System Preferences

Mine is ticked, so why am i being asked to allow this it this is supposed to automatically allow?

In addition, the only reason why i bring this up, is prior to 8.5 Fusion, I never saw this popup ever...... so Apple must of made some changes... nether the less in 8,5, i just ignored the popup, and everything still works as normal...

If no one knows why i am being asked this in Serria, then i'll just continue ignoring it, as Fusion seems to work fine without any action taken.
