Review: Overall great consumer firewall with potentially useful business applications. - Received this network firewall about a week ago and let me just say it is really well done. It's small size and simple setup (assuming you check your router against their incompatible list of routers on their website) make it rather approachable. I also like how the app you use with it has a well thought out interface that doesn't overwhelm you with information but let's you get deeper insight into your network by navigating the easy to use app. I do wish they would have better means of customizable content filters for groups of devices not all or individual devices. This thing is tiny but oh so powerful up to 100mbps. I have 83 devices currently and it seems to handle it fine. I contacted their support and received help after 5 on a Saturday which was impressive granted it was over email. They provided me with a solution to work around a newly discovered bug with firewalla. It was nothing major for home networks but essentially I had too big of a subnet mask for it to scan devices. The scariest thing about this is it spends all its time collecting alll this data that you may not even be aware is possible to obtain via the network. Monitoring and alarming features work exceptionally well except turning off some notifications such as abnormal activity doesn't turn off abnormal uploads. Having several cloud based cameras renders a lot of these types of alarms. Also I will add that having the map, Whois, and ips really help identify what's happenening with a device and potentially stop it. I noticed also it doesn't block certain activity on its own you have to tell it to allow or block activity. It is working great with my eeros 2nd gen. Can't wait for the firewalla Blue to get more performance out of our internet seeing as we are paying for 300mbps. I think it is definitely a cool new product/startup I also think given everything it gathers it may be concerning as to privacy implications in regards to protecting its database.
Review: Zero support..died after 10 months. - For about 10 months my Firewalla box worked great. It was easy to set up and the app was easy and effective. About a month ago it died. It would no longer connect to anything. I’ve reached out to Firewalla by email on four separate occasions now. Zero reply! Watch out! At over $200 a pop….I feel it should last more than 10 months! I have an update. Firewalla finally got back to me. After they asked me to do a bunch of troubleshooting which I did over the course of two days, they asked me to buy another piece of equipment to re-flash my unit. I refused. I shouldn’t have to buy a piece of equipment to fix a product that is under warranty. At first they said it wasn’t under warranty…then I sent them proof and they agreed. After being thoroughly frustrated with troubleshooting, I asked them to take this unit back and ship me a new one. They would not do that. I had to ship my old unit back so they could test it and maybe fix it and maybe send it back. It’s really too bad. I loved it when it worked, but my review stays the same. Great when it works….if it doesn’t….good luck. Unless you are very tenacious and keep after Firewalla “customer service” you will be out your $200+. If they somehow redeem themselves…I will change this review….but at this point…I’d never buy another one.

## Features

When in Simple Mode, this device may not be compatible with all routers. Please look at the Compatibility Guide video, the "specification sheet" document in this listing, or compatibility guide in the manufacturing site to see which routers work with Firewalla. Set up may require login to your router to do basic configuration.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have a list of compatible routers?**
A: Please see http://firewalla.com/compatibility/    
Firewalla can operate in two modes to capture and filter traffic.  The first mode is Simple mode, requires no login to router, it is true plug and play.   Second mode is DHCP mode, this requires you to logging in to the router and disable DHCP server there.  Both modes has pro and cons, please see the article.

**Q: Is there a monthly fee?**
A: There is no monthly fee.

**Q: Does this rely on using the firewall as network dns or does is utilize arp poisioning?**
A: I assume you want to know how firewalla grab network traffic.   There are two ways to do it, one is using ARP spoofing and the other is using DHCP to create an overlay network on top of your existing one.   Firewalla does have DNS cache inside, so your DNS queries will be faster ... (we forgot to mention this in our descriptions).   For ARP/DHCP details please take a look https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004292514-How-does-Firewalla-Intercept-Traffic

**Q: Does it block SYN flood and port scan? Is it effective when connected (with a help of a switch) between my ISP modem and router WAN port?**
A: The box can block at IP layer, so it can lock out anything you want.  These blocks will still consume CPU, so if you have a huge flood of syn packets, nothing will help.   You can not connect the box between the modem and the WAN port, the box is a IP layer device, it will need an IP address.  (That is, unless your modem is a IP layer device, which can issue multiple IP addresses, then it should be fine. )

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product offering by a consumer friendly and supportive company!
*by D***. on March 14, 2019*

Basic setup was quick and simple. The capabilities and information provided by this box are far beyond what’s provided in its sales documentation. Firewalla Tech Support is highly responsive and helpful. While I would like to see these boxes have a much faster throughput, this box provides affordable and professional quality home (and small business) network protection that most anyone can use and benefit from without having to be an IT professional. Be mindful that you will occasionally find things that need follow up as you gain user time with this device. For example, after using Firewalla’s default settings when we enabled the blocking of all video sites, we found that our Apple devices stopped auto-updating their apps and the Apple App Store became unreachable. With the help of a quick email assist from Firewalla Tech Supoort, we learned that Apple uses an itunes server for both their video AND app updates. Firewalla was blocking itunes since we had enabled the blocking of all video sites. Armed with that information, we then easily customized Firewalla’s default video block settings to allow access to the itunes server and we restored normal app updating for our Apple devices. Firewalla quickly showed us which devices were our network’s biggest data hogs. It also flagged several suspicious uploads going to certain web servers. Thanks to Firewalla, we put the data hogs on a diet and closed the door on the suspicious uploads. Our home network is now performing more efficiently and is certainly more secure. As soon as I can get my hands on the Firewalla Blue box, I’ll have my small business network outfitted in like manner as my home network. I’m eagerly looking forward to using Firewalla products for many years to come.
