Ratings and reviews

An exceptional application for some very exceptional hardware. Firewalla has given me my sanity back. I have the Gold Pro and cannot say enough good things about it. It is very easy to set up and control through the app. You can get as technical as you want or just let it do it's thing. It does a great job without many additional features enabled This is an excellent, well thought out app. 10 stars! Firewalla-Could you add a widget for the app?? Just a brief overview of alarms, speed, etc?

I've been using Firewalla protecting my home network for four years now, and it's been a fantastic investment. It gives me total peace of mind by silently blocking malicious sites and other online threats in the background. As a parent, the content control features are a game-changer. I can easily manage my kids' internet access, filter out inappropriate content, and even pause the internet for homework or dinner, all from a simple app.

I have the gold and I gotta say. I set it up as a router and used my gaming router as an access point. Works perfectly once one figured it all out. Great app. Can be a bit buggy on the refresh but seems to work well. New review I gotta say still 5 stars. I Have had zero issues with anything an easy update that would add to security for the phone itself would be biometrics or pin protection for the app. It would prevent anyone specifically children from even opening the app.
