For me security starts with securing my computers, using difficult passwords, and not saving my credit card information on any web site if possible. I've been using the default Mac firewall PF for a long time. However, I have found it difficult to make changes to because you need to use the terminal and you can easily mess up your configuration making it impossible to get onto your WAN or LAN.
I just stumbled onto Murus and it's brother Vallum and suddenly making those necessary changes became simple.. After using Murus for an hour I purchased Murus Pro which comes with Vallum and I will never leave my computer alone without it. With Vallum I no longer needed Little Snitch, which is another great application but it would be redundant running little Snitch along with Vallum. Murus and Vallum work together beautifully because they are develop by the same developers.

You sure it’s not your processor causing the issues?
I had daily kernel panics and overheating until Crapple FINALLY replaced my Mac with a brand new one. that was almost a year and a half ago and since then I think I’ve only had two.
It’s hard to believe Murus could be easier to use than LS, because the screenshot alone makes me say HOLY #*&%!
It looks a LOT more complicated than LS, and I haven’t been able to overlook the screenshots long enough to try it out - It looks like it’d be an exasperating experience.
I’ve used LS for years and rarely have trouble with it not functioning as expected. Even though I have an extensive set of rules, the continual pestering of the permission windows does get irksome at times, and it could use more features.
You only have to read the release notes that are published, I counted 7 instances of kernel panic causing bugs being fixed since v3.0 came out - I've been using LS since the late 90's and have seen KPs occurring regularly over the years on the five or six different machines I've use it on it that time when using LS (granted sometimes other stuff has caused it, but not very often).
I can only comment on my own experiences with software. I'm sure there's plenty out there that have no such issues.
In use Murus has not been any harder house than LS. It is only a front-end for the software built-in to macOSX anyway, so is not to intrusive to the system, and probably less likely to cause issues. You could, if you so wished, do the same task from Terminal.
As I say, I can only comment based on my own experiences with using hardware and software.
I can think of a few things I'd improve with LS, but I'm not aware of any actual bugs. And I have no K-panics caused by it.
I haven't seen any actual proof here that LS caused people's K-panics.
I could have blamed mine on it, but it was a defective computer not defective software that caused it.
I need more attestation that Murus is better and about as simple as LS before I try it again.
I also tried LB, but it had far too many options when all I wanted was a simple, but better Spotlight replacement. Someone suggested Alfred, but I didn't care for it either.
