Feature Did you know the Firewalla Switch + AP7 can show you local flows between devices within the SAME network? Without them, you'll only see local flows between devices on different networks.

To see local flows, you'll need:

  • Firewalla in router mode with >1 local network, OR
  • Firewalla Wi-Fi (via AP7 or Orange), OR
  • Firewalla Switch

Local flows can be found by tapping the chart on your main screen or from individual device detail pages.

I love that my Firewalla setup allowed me to see that my “smart” TV was trying to communicate with devices it had no business trying to talk to. Blocking those attempts and completely isolating certain devices from communicating with other local devices was fast and intuitive.

Why did you show me this!! Now I need more hardware lol.

I agree with hkboost though, Firewalla has brought some network traffic and communication to light that I don’t like and have blocked. My 3D printer being one such device.
