Ratings and reviews

Since updating the app my phone won't stay connected to my network. All other devices stay connected fine, and my phone stays connected to other networks. It even stays connected if I disconnect the firewalla device. This all started today after updating this app. The phone is not quarantined either. Nothing is in quarantine. It can connect for about 10 - 20 seconds max, then disconnects.

Firewalla Gold Plus is a game-changer in the realm of home network security. Its intuitive interface, combined with advanced features, makes it an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned network enthusiasts. The level of visibility and control it offers over network traffic is truly unparalleled.

I have worked in the data comms industry for many years. I have used everything from the complex Cisco ios to the simplest GUI network appliance. Offering an independent firewall these days in a lincense model market is not easy. Firewalla not only offers a professional level featured firewall but the ongoing support that even corporate tier firewalls receive. As a network engineer, I recommend Firewalla for both personal and professional environments. Thanks for a great line of products.
