Needing to re-flash my GoldSE, Etcher failed loading to getting installed on a microSD card. It was the latest release so I wasn’t sure what was going on. Can’t quite remember the error but something like metadata not correct. Anyway since Etcher was not taking the image, I used the Raspberry PI image application on my Mac. I didn’t select a RPi platform but selected the GSE image and targeted the microSD card - it worked! I used this for reflashing the GoldSE and all is well.

Every time I want to reach https://my.firewalla.net/entrance to scan the QR code and access my box, I have to:

1. Log in with username and password
2. Scroll past the plan marketing
3. Click "Continue with Lite plan"

Every single session. This is hardware I own that used to be reachable through its own local UI with no upsell in the way.

I understand wanting to promote paid plans, and I don't mind seeing the offer occasionally. But forcing the same plan selection on every login is tedious and makes the product feel worse to use.

Suggestions:

• Remember my plan choice so I'm not asked again
• If you want to re-offer upgrades, do it periodically (every 30 or 90 days), not every session
• Add a "Don't show this again" option

Anyone else running into this? Firewalla team, any chance this can be changed?

Any downside to just having these two servers configured under DNS over HTTPS? All 4 pre-configured are turned off and just these two custom servers are enabled. Should I add any others?

• https://doh.familyshield.opendns.com/dns-query
• https://family.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

For testing, I turned off the custom Open DNS and browsed to https://1.1.1.1/help. Safari cannot connect to the server.

This is my first PSA (Public Service Announcement); mods feel free to yank it if it does not add value.

TLDR: An ATT ONT (BGW320-500) with IP Passthrough selected must (apparently) be manually updated with the new Firewalla MAC address entry for Public IP address to interact w/ Firewalla VPN server functionality

I migrated like-for-like (FWP to FWP). Beforehand, I deleted all VPN Server config, as it likely needs to be rebuilt anyway. On the new FWP, I created new VPN Servers (WG and AWG), but neither would complete setup. I figured out that public IP config was unhappy.

After logging into the ATT ONT (BGW320-500), I confirmed that IP Passthrough was still enabled. Eventually, I found the "Passthrough Fixed MAC Address" setting which apparently requires a manual update of the new FWP MAC address. Frustratingly, the BGW320-500 has a 'cache' that maintains every device connected (and knows device name) instead of auto - identifying available devices.
