Learning and loving it!

Short story: Had my home network already set up and placed my Firewalla gold Plus between the Blackhawk modem (bypass mode) and the router. I noticed that I wasn’t tapping into the capabilities of the firewalla as the router. Therefore I placed my ASUS BQ16 pro router into AP mode(which I was very happy as the router) but the Firewalla appeared to have more surgical functional tools. (if that makes sense). Setting up the Firewalla as a router, I soon realized that the unmanned switch I was using in my network wasn’t the best option. Configuring the vlan on the BQ16 pro wireless and the Firewalla gold plus gave me the understanding and confidence to purchase (and hopefully configure) a manned 8 port switch. (Will let you know how it goes. Loving it!!!)

My choice for a decade now

High quality hardware and the easy to use app and outstanding support, makes it a great selection for a layered security solution. I’ve had a few of their firewall devices. Currently have the rack mounted Gold Pro and am anxiously awaiting the release of the new rack mounted Switch I preordered as soon as I saw them available.

I’ve used Firewalla hardware for a decade now. Let that settle and let me add that the only failures and problems I’ve had were self inflicted.

I’m not one to let things be, if/when I think a setting modification may improve performance.

I tweak, often just to verify before making changes “permanent”, which I have yet to accomplish.

Impressive

Really great management features. Maybe sometimes a little UX poor but still outstanding.
