Murus Pro 2.5 macOS

Murus unleashes the great power of the macOS built-in PF firewall. Protect your network resources using a very simple interface, take advantage of the many pro features available to design and implement your network infrastructure, to monitor performances and proactively filter dangerous traffic at network layer. Murus is available in three different versions in order to meet everyone’s needs. And there’s even more: port knocking, adaptive firewall, NAT and many other features including a blazing-fast logging system.

macOS features one of the best network firewalls: PF (Packet Filter). It comes in an “under the hood” fashion, installed and disabled by default. Murus’ purpose is to unleash its potential. With its easy and intuitive icons-based and drag&drop-based interface, visual layers of abstraction and a friendly view of the PF firewall it’s a lean and mean tool to protect your Mac and network.

Designed with ease of use in mind, yet full of advanced options and monitoring tools, Murus is perfect for everybody; from the average user to the experienced UNIX guru/system administrator and even for educational purposes. Configure and start the PF firewall in one click using built-in presets, use Murus graphical ruleset editor design tool or write fully customized rulesets using the advanced rule editor. Murus Pro includes Vallum, an application-layer firewall. This allows you to take full control of your Mac at both application and network level.

Learn how to

A firewall is not magic. You are going to protect your Mac, and you are going to do it using PF, the macOS firewall. Use Murus to learn how PF works, using the three layers of abstraction. These layers represent the firewall configuration using icons or using simplified, commented and visually enriched rules, or using a runtime table-based rules browser. Protecting your Mac is not the only purpose of Murus. It is also a learning tool. We include documentation for both Murus and PF Log Reader, and a generic macOS PF manual. You will learn how to handle PF and you will be able to create and manage your own hand-made rulesets.
