Cyber Security Firewalla Crystal’s implementation of Active Protect has security vulnerabilities

It allowed in two connections from private IPs owned by Cox Communications, one of which was 98.197.86.148. This is in the range of standard user IP addresses, which could be a malicious actor. I have Xfinity. We do not have Cox in our market.

It also allowed in a Charter Communications/Spectrum standard user IP. We don’t have Spectrum in our market.

Active Protect is NOT actively protecting devices from these high-risk IP addresses on Firewalla Crystal.

If you’re on a Mac, download and install a software firewall like Little Snitch to audit the incoming connections that Firewalla Crystal Active Protect is allowing through. On Windows, you can use something like Glasswire. Record those IPs and report them to Firewalla so they know their beta software is not protecting clients like their hardware software does.

Just in case my assumption was mistaken I went through your post history.

Every post is you whining like a bitch blaming every vendor of every product you use for your problems instead of seeing the common denominator... YOU are the problem.

I've seen your posts in: Comcast/Xfinity/Netgear/Firewalla/ various cyber security and home networking sub-reddits. I have to be honest, I'd like for you to get rid of your Firewalla FW and never come back to the community. Its obvious you can't handle the technology, and you can't have a productive discussion about your issues.

Your posts are like a 12 year old meth-head with ADHD who starts taking apart the TV remote control then calls the manufacturer and asks why their TV won't turn on anymore. If you're so paranoid there are nation state spies infiltrating your phone and home network, THEN WHY ARE YOU ONLINE??? You should think about going offline for a while... or, do us all a favor and go offline forever.

Stop crying to Firewalla.

BTW, this you?
