  • This is a great product.

    It's so much easier to use something like this vs. trying to manage it all yourself using OpenWRT/DD-WRT. I had everything in place at one point but then my router was reset to factory defaults and I lost everything. This is a turnkey solution that is worth living every penny for the peace of mind knowing what is happening on your home network. Every father should own one of these.

    Oh yeah GigoMikol can achieve custom block times for different days by choosing "Weekly" and picking the days. I have two rules setup for my oldest son to allow later internet access on weekends.

  • App broken *updated* not broken

    Latest update broke the app. It can’t detect the firewalla. Worked with previous version prior to today’s update.

    Update: the app needs to pair with a newly restarted device. It would have been great if the error message indicated this as a possible troubleshooting step. Anyway, it is all good now.

  • Good app, needs iPad Pro screen support

    So far have been enjoying the logistics of my environment and being able to customize rules, however these 3 things would have made my beginner user experience much better
    1. Device needs to be paired with app within first hour of connection, this info is buried in your setup and issues page and would have helped after I tried to add the app to 3 more iOS devices a few hours after setup.
    2. iPad support, such nice graphs and yet all I have is a scaled iPhone app stretched on my iPad Pro.
    3. For the rules you can create a custom block time, but what if I just want a custom ‘allow time”? Example work app to only be available work days between 8-4pm, as of now I can block from 4-8am, BUT this will include Saturday/Sunday which I would rather block entirely.

    Thank you
