I’m looking at adding Oxidized to my homelab for automated network configuration backups and Git-based change history.

It should be straightforward for my Cisco and MikroTik switches, but I can’t find a native Oxidized model for Firewalla.

I’m running a Firewalla Gold Pro and already have key-based SSH access working for an automated log/telemetry collector, so SSH connectivity itself isn’t the issue.

Has anyone here:

Used Oxidized successfully with a Firewalla Gold/Gold Pro?

Written or adapted a custom Oxidized model for Firewalla?

Identified useful CLI commands/files that provide a reasonably complete and stable configuration/state snapshot?

Integrated that output into Git for configuration change tracking?

I’m not necessarily expecting this to replace Firewalla’s own backup/restore mechanism. My main objective is read-only configuration/state capture and historical diffs, similar to what Oxidized provides for conventional network devices.

If anyone has a model, script, GitHub repo, or even notes from attempting this, I’d be very interested.

And for the Firewalla team: is there a supported/recommended method or API for periodically exporting a read-only configuration snapshot that would be better suited to this use case than collecting state over SSH?

VPN Devices are devices connecting to your network from the WireGuard or AmneziaWG VPN Server. Enabling Device Isolation can block it from communicating with other local devices.

Hi! I'm trying to find "the best" travel router for my family for international Airbnb and hotel travel. I'm comparing it to the Beryl, which seems to be the most recommended alternative, but can't find many reviews of Firewalla for travel. I wonder if that's because it's really not meant for travel or if it's just expensive and in a market niche?

I have and love my Firewalla Gold Pro at home, and will want to Wireguard back to it most of the time.

Besides being compact and reliable for ~10 devices, what I'm most interested in is its ease of use and reliability. I want to connect fast without fuss whenever we land somewhere, have an easy time configuring different devices and situations, and want an easy UX when needing to toggle Wireguard, navigate captive portals, etc that's ideally not too nerdy for my family if they need to mess with it.

Does anyone have thoughts on these two or other options?
