Ordered the Firewalla Blue, arrived yesterday, set it up this morning. My router/modem was on the compatible list, so setup went well with the app. Seems both the Firewalla Blue & the App are working fine & setup is complete & paired with my iPhone. I am pleased & satisfied so far, need to give it more time for a more thorough review.Show lessMichael J Thomas
Excellent Home Firewall!
Our family of 5 uses all devices imaginable. Add to that Internet of Things devices, and you’ll be amazed at the data that’s leaving your house with your data. Firewalla Blue is easy to use and connect, even with Mesh networks like Orbi and EERO and more!Holdens NC
Love it
As an IT student, I really enjoy using this for learning purposes but it has many helpful features for me as well. I got the vpn to work with some fiddling and I enjoy my experience overallAllengame3
Simple and effective
We have had the Firewalla blue for several months now and it has been very helpful in ensuring our home network security.
Pros
Let’s you know what devices are on your net with usage and connections details.
Built in VPN which works great.
Notifications of changes on the network.
Outbound and inbound data usage.
Services in use.
List goes on and we don’t even use all of the attributes.
No latency that I have been able to detect.
Let’s me know when new devices are introduced to the network.
Cons
Can’t think of any.
Overall excellent device with a very low learning curve and excellent support. Can not recommend it enough.Show less10%ofnothing
App is intuitive and performs very well
Firewalla Red is easy to set up and does what it’s advertised to do. In retrospect I would probably spend the extra 80 bucks to get the Firewalla Blue with its extra features. The app works really well and gives me the features and functionality I need.Ray Zoller
Firewalla Blue basic FW
This is a great product if all you want to do is block traffic and keep family from certain sites. It is also good for monitoring your IoT devices. But very horrible job of setting allow statements. There is none. No white listing. If monitoring any Alexa Dots or Echos you cannot reach these from outside of your network. Also I can not use my vpn while paying bills or using the internet. The manufacturers suggests “stop monitoring” those devices. That is not an acceptable solution because then you cannot are traffic flows. Overall I give it a one star because it does not support the features I stated above.Show lessRrod6902
Great App and Firewall Device
The Firewalla team has done a great job developing an app and device that is both powerful and easy to use for a normal person. There are many features that work well. The VPN feature is easily my favorite other than the usual firewall features like intrusion detection and prevention and IP upstream/downstream blocking.Show lessfrontranger1
Great Firewall, simple to use, but powerful
If you want to protect your network and have great visibility into what is going on under the hood, Firewalla is a great solution. It’s easy to install and shows all the devices connected to that network. For each device you can see the traffic and where they are connecting to. You can limit access to the Internet, gaming, porn, social networks and videos. It supports both VPN server and client allowing remote network connections while limiting which devices can use that connection. Is supports DNS caching, encrypting DNS requests limiting your ISP ability to track what you are doing and supports ad blocking. Highly recommendedShow lessNutcracker13
Great addition my networking toolbox
This is a wonderful product. It really helps guys like us that want a constant pulse on our networks. Today’s threats are ever looming and this product helps give us a tool to better stay aware of the contestant threats.
Looking forward to seeing you guys continue to grow and release new features. I’ve signed up for the beta program. Can’t wait to see what comes next in new features.

The app and device are awesome
The app and the devices are awesome. But their support of routers is not as good as they rate in their support page. I had an eero v1 which is not supported and upgraded to the ubiquity AmpliFi Instant which is certified as fully compatible, yet performance for monitored devices of the firewalla blue is well below 25Mbps. For device thanI turn off monitoring of, I do get my full WiFi performance. Keep this in mind and make sure to have a fully compatible router. Don’t just pick one off the compatible list. But verify compatibility with the Firewalla staff.Show lessArmandWelsh
