Hi, I have a fairly new system and was trying to get things migrated over, and iTunes is crashing about 7-8 seconds after opening. This is on 'Hackintosh 2' in my signature. Audio does work (through QuickLook, VLC), and so far this is the only issue I've noticed (except hot plugging of USB. During the Installation of Little Snitch on macOS High Sierra you may see a message: “System Extension Blocked”. This is a new security mechanism in High Sierra. If you’re using the free version of Little Snitch, you have to deal with the fact that it automatically quits after every three hours. To avoid this, you have to buy the full version. If you’ve been looking for a free Little Snitch alternative that works with macOS Mojave and previous macOS versions, Lulu is what you need.

Little Snitch is probably the best host-based application firewall solution for macOS app. I’ve been using it for quite a while but recently ditched it when I found a free alternative that equally works great.

Mojave Update Review
Unlike Little Snitch, Lulu is an open source software with its source code already on GitHub. This means that it’s not just free, but also anyone can contribute to its development.
Same approach to application firewall
If you’ve been using Little Snitch before now, you shouldn’t have a problem using Lulu. Lulu uses the same approach to application firewall
After installing it, you can choose to allow all default Apple apps and existing third-party apps to connect to the Internet without confirmation.
The choice you make here depends on how you wish to use the program. Personally, I only allow Apple-signed programs to connect automatically, all third-party apps require manual confirmation to create rules.
Clicking the Block or Allow button determines whether the application will access the Internet or not. Checking the temporarily box makes the rule temporary for that specific program ID. It resets when you quit the app or restart your computer and the dialogue box will pop up again.
Just like Little Snitch, it has a panel where you can remove existing rules and add new ones manually:
Ever since I upgraded to macOS Mojave, I’ve been using the new system-wide dark theme which Lulu neatly blends in with.
For a free app, Lulu is incredibly well-built. It’s been about a week now and I haven’t encountered a bug. If you don’t want to spend a dime on a firewall app, this free little alternative is really worth trying. You can download it from the official website or take a look at the source code on GitHub.
After installing Mojave on my new 2017 MBP 15' (2TB comfig) i had no internat connections - at all. No 'Hard wired', no WIFI - nothing.
I only figured this out because so many of our music apps (we're a record company) run from authiorizing serial number from the developers site on each launch of the software. I thought 'they won't work in Majave'. Untill normal things like Little Snitch kept stating 'bad web address'. Good lord, we never checked the internet because the WIFI fan had a 'hot' signal. Beings how that's ONLY the radio signal... we then tried to open Safari. That's when all revealed itself. This just turned into a hot mess fast.
I couldn't turn on anything. I tried all the 'fixes' on the internet that worked for High Sierra when this came up for others (we have never had a computer not see the internet by tyhe way), but nothing worked. After all the 'throw this out, restart, throw this out, restart, turn this off, restart that went on for more than 4 hours.... we noticed that some people kept saying 'run Network Diagnostics iit fixed everything...' ... except they removed that from MAC starting with High Sierra and it's still gone in Mojave.
It didn't dawn on me... 'You can't even reinstall High Sierra if you don't have Internet...' so this became a bit of a mess. If I cant get TO the internet, how do I even report the issue to BETA? They're going to want reports, diagnostics, etc..
So after several hours of 'checking this, checking that, I restarted a 27th time, but this time I tried COMMAND + R. Low and behold I have internet in this mode. So I tried running what little diagnostics I could (disc untility, all the usual suspects...) finally I just tried to 'reimstall'. The problem is it ONLY takes you to Mojave.

With nothing to loose I did a reinstall. CLICK!

With nothing to loose I tried making a new LOCATION and just called it 'Apple Airport'. It finally saw the internet for 'hard wire' only but.... it runs very very very slow. How slow? We have a 997mbps connection with Cox Communications. It's called 'Gygablast' I think. We're talking downloading an 8GB bluray movie in seconds not hours or minutes - really fast... but with Mojave finally at least seeing the internet, it takes up fo 4-5 minutes (that's minutes not nanseconds - MINUTES!) to load any pages. I choose relable web pages that tradiationally load fast: Apple Develpoper, Amazon, Cox, my own company's home page - all pages 4-5 minutes each. I actually thought it STILL wasn't working, until I took a tech call. During the process of helping them, my first web page came up, but I notived how slow. So I started a stop watch whule I talked. Yep, really slow.
