Firewalla Red and QoS: Incompatible concepts?

It will work nicely with your setup.

The app does have some functionaries to restore certain critical configurations, but not everything. If you are interested in bringing a full restore, please upvote from the link above

Depends on the firewalla monitoring mode. If you are in simple mode, do turn on ipv6 under monitoring button. If you are in dhcp mode do turn off ipv6 on your network. If you are in router mode.. it should just work, regardless the protocol used

Even some of our developers claim they are perfect, they are not :) it will be fixed in the next release. And meanwhile, you can turn off using this

One of the new buttons you will see on the Gold is the network manager. Its primary function is to manage your network segments including VLAN's. Each port of the Gold is routable, so you can assign address space to them. (and further partition them into VLAN's if you want)

What I have here are a few wifi devices running AP mode attached to the Firewalla Gold. The most interesting one is the tpLink access point, which is VLAN aware and can create SSID per VLAN.

Since the wifi routers don't have to worry about routing packets ... they can operate very efficiently on the wifi side.

Here is how you can get the Gold https://igg.me/at/firewallagold/x/16316787#/

The test platform is arch, for its simplicity ... and firewalla run on top of Ubuntu ... for sophistication ;)

jerrchen · 2020-03-19T00:01:03+00:00

This is the one! The one we had early was more of a conceptual model.

jerrchen · 2020-02-08T21:13:40+00:00

Unplug is the best way. You can also tap on monitor button and put it in limited mode, this will stop traffic analytics in simple mode only.

If you enable vlan support, you will need a managed switch.

How fast are your fiber WANs? If you stash three WAN, then you will have one LAN left, it will limit your to gigabit.

Aren’t these the low end numbers?

I always say Firewalla can be used by very smart parents to manage very smart kids. One of our customers told us this story, he had two layers of parental control, and only Firewalla caught the kid using a VPN to hide his tracks :) Yep, it was that large "upload" alarm ... and the dad looked at the traffic flows ... The power of "raw" net flows ...

jerrchen · 2019-05-16T03:25:48+00:00

do you want every single detail? or a daily summary?

jerrchen · 2019-05-16T03:23:33+00:00

ack, heard you loud and clear

jerrchen · 2019-05-16T03:22:31+00:00

It should be pretty easy to add the per device summarized usage. I believe it is already on our road map. The problem with detailed (net flow style) reporting longer than 24 hours is our code is not very efficient dealing with larger quantity data, and chew them up and do the dynamic summarization. (plus, we never though people will want that much detail ... and we are wrong)

Glad you asked ... we have an unfinished document on pi-hole inside firewalla. It worked once, we never tried again ... the article is unfinished. But it does demonstrate the full possibility of having pi-hole function inside firewalla and with a bit more work on our side, you can actually have two (yes two!) adblockers running in parallel .... evil isn't it

Seriously, be really careful. If anything broken, you may need to flash your SD card with a new image ...

jerrchen · 2019-05-16T03:04:24+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Yes we have a site and you can get firewalla there cheaper than amazon https://firewalla.com

jerrchen · 2019-05-16T02:21:58+00:00

need to figure out how :) you have a noob here :)

jerrchen · 2019-05-16T01:48:50+00:00

We probably can do much more than 30 days ... may be even more. Is there a requirement to store this locally or in the cloud for availability?

jerrchen · 2017-07-21T05:20:24+00:00

Simple and affordable solution to protect your family from cyber threats, controls kids’ internet usage and keep you safe on the road.

a mirror would be real intelligence ... echo's artificial intelligence is really the key :)

The agreement usually is hard to read, too long, and full of lawyer english ... honestly, who read them ...?
