Firewalla 4+

I’m a technologist, and a technical product manager who has spent my career working on connected smart devices. The Firewalla Purple (and app) is hands-down the most incredible networking product I have ever experienced, and truly couldn’t be easier to use. I’ve been searching for YEARS for a way to block the violent/sexual/explicit ads that pop up in my toddlers’ iPad games, and there is no solution out there, until Firewalla. We even went so far as to purchase Kindle Fire Kids tablets in hope of eliminating the problematic ads, but the Kindle Fire applications are simply too limited, and the device itself too laggy/complicated to use. I plugged in the Firewalla device and literally 5 minutes later, my problem was solved. Firewalla has achieved the holy grail of networking products; a device that connects to your existing network and doesn’t cause problems, all with the touch of a button, no settings configuration required at all! Seriously amazed by this device and app. The price of the hardware is EASILY justified by the capabilities and ease of use. BUY ONE NOW, the search is over!!!

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.

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.
