No downloadable manual. I am old school, I print manuals out, I then write on them, high light passages etc, especially when I am learning how software like this works. I gave up on trying to read the manual on line, so although I paid for the software its unlikely to be used. I don't care if it becomes out of date in 6 months, by that stage I will have a good enough grasp on the software to either figure it out, look at the online version for the specific changes or download a new copy of the manual. THIS is how I learn stuff. Its crazy, they make PDF manuals for their other software, just not for their main product. So now I am looking for some firewall software yet again. Maybe I will have to pay for a hardware firewall so I can get a manual.

It would be enormously helpful if MU carried screen shots of the various Murus products so we could see what they actually do (the screenshot on the developer's site is too small to be legible).

I had been looking for a product to prevent Chinese hackers from constantly attempting brute force SSH logins on one of my workstations (I have to keep SSH enabled on it for a security application that I run). I tried Fail2Ban first, and had no luck getting it running on El Capitan. Then I ran across this product, gave the Lite version a try, and immediately bought the Pro version. Murus works, it's easy to configure, and the documentation is quite good. Now I can watch as Chinese IP addresses bang on port 22 a few times and then get locked out for good. The Pro version is worth every penny I spent just for that alone.

How well does this play with Little Snitch being also installed?

This front end to the firewall has excellent documentation online also. ' am switching from IceFloor to Murus. Just bought Murus Basic from their website http://www.murusfirewall.com Pricing is slashed 50% for a short time, so I got it for just $10. Thanks Murus!
