User Reviews

Users largely praise Firewalla's app for being easy to use and feature-rich, with strong hardware and support and no ongoing fees. Recurrent drawbacks include DST/rule update issues, privacy/tracking concerns, lack of local management, and occasional update-related reliability problems. Overall, it’s a solid value with notable caveats.

Pros

Easy to use app with powerful features (VLANs, ad blocking, intrusion blocking).
No ongoing subscription fees after hardware purchase.
Rich firewall/network features that are simple to configure (VLANs, device rules, parental controls).
Solid hardware with reliable performance and strong Wi‑Fi/add-on options.
Excellent support and documentation.

Cons

DST/time-based rule updates do not adjust automatically; long-standing issue.
Privacy concerns: the app reportedly sends data to trackers with limited opt-out options.
Lack of local management; reliance on the cloud/app rather than local control.
Some usability/frustrations with setup and basic tasks (cloud account linking, UI).
Occasional update-related instability or bricking on certain releases.

Recent reviews

No subscription required yet the protection is as good if not better than those I do provide a subscription. A great option for cyber security protection.

High quality hardware and the easy to use app and outstanding support, makes it a no brainer.

App rules don’t update when DST changes. It’s a known issue for years. Can’t believe they still didn’t fix yet. Device works for many things but app is horrible. They don’t even allow local management. They FORCE using an app.
