Fun and easy to use
I’m an IT guy and and found the firewalla device and software easy to use and makes managing your home network fun. I have a Purple device with Orbi as my wifi and it’s working great, thank you firewalla team!Thames River
Second Firewall try
As someone who has studiously avoided network admin and grown very tired of having to keep up with real security and security porn sensationalism, the Gold box I bought to replace my Avast Omni has been a huge improvement in speed, ease of monitoring what's trying to get in/out and administration of a home network. I was going to get a network pro in to suggest a replacement, so this paid for itself maybe many times over. Firewalla Documentation is unusually good. Block by region is fantastic. Averaging 20% connection request from suspect IPs that have 0 reasons for trying to connect, especially overnight. Nearly 9000 last 24 hrs. If Firewalla does specific location consultation I'm interested.
Only downside has been both Firewalla and Antivirus installs are scanning the lan for open ports and reporting on each other which is a little tiresome but I appreciate that's working.Show lessBasicGuyOfficial
Review of App on an iPad, not the Firewalla Device
To start, as my title notes, I am basing my review on the application on an iPad. The Firewalla device is awesome. (I have a Gold.)
It is unclear to me why the Firewalla team has made a half-hearted attempt to mark this as compatible with an iPad and iPhone. When it runs on an iPad, it forces portrait mode. I suppose this is okay for folks who use their iPads that way. For anyone using a keyboard (such as Apple’s), the iPad is in landscape mode. Sure, one does get more real estate this way…but it isn’t really usable real estate.
Mark the app’s attribute as iPhone. It’d be just as useful on an iPad…still in portrait, just magnified. Five stars if this actually worked in either landscape or portrait on an iPad.Show lessJBHorner
Solid firewall
App does a good job to manage a complex system. Great work. Looking forward to their success so the product gets better.DFischer
Well built app supporting excellent h/w
I am really impressed with the quality of the app for the Firewalla Gold. It is a very complex device and the app makes it intuitive. Similar network control software that came with my Wifi router was terrible. This is an example of doing it right.ucrazykid
Really good!
I’m using the app with a Firewalla Gold. There is enough functionality to do probably most of what one needs to do in a home deployment and then some. Of course this is not as full featured as other paid or open source alternatives; however, the upside is a MASSIVE improvement in ease of use. That said, the devs are extremely receptive to community feedback and are continuously refining and adding features that people wanting to tinker will appreciate. I hope this continues to be a successful and growing company because I really don’t think there is any other offering with this mix of capability and ease of use.Show lessrandom.nickname
Issue Resolved
I made a review stating a problem I had. The company reached out and the problem was resolved within a short time. I still have some slow response time within the app, however in my experience good security comes with slightly slower speeds.fknrd
Too buggy and full of security holes
Got the Gold and started using this app, but it seems to just have given attackers a back door to my network instead of providing me any protection. Bring up issues on forum only prompts dismissal of security issue by staff and, I believe staff impersonating a customer on forum to insult customers with criticism.Show lessMatsura
for iphone and zero screen rotation.
evidently they have not created an ipad or native desktop app. so all we have is this weird half supported iphone app that has zero screen rotation. it would be awesome if the user interface apps and authentication were greatly improved, and that Firewalla does not turn this into yet another surveillance device from silly-conman valley.Show less♾xyzzy
Extremely satisfied Customer
I just wanna point out that I am extremely happy with this product easy to set up and I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for that extra protection you can’t go wrong I would never look back I hope everything gets way better from here with this product it does exactly what it says I will never purchase any other products from anywhere else these guys get way more than five stars for me I am a loyal dedicated customer for lifeShow lessdavid1287us
