Firewalla app 1.55 is available on both iOS and Android.
New Features
Special Feature: WireGuard VPN Device Limit Increased
You'll now be able to create and manage a maximum of 100 VPN devices that can be connected to your WireGuard VPN server on boxes running in Beta or Early Access.
- Launch the Firewalla App
- Settings -> Advanced -> Beta Program -> Turn on "Join Box Beta Program" (that's it, no reboot necessary!)
1. Rule Hit Count Summary
Rule Hit Count Summary Video Tutorial
A rule's Hit Count is the number of flows matching a rule. With the 1.55 app release, you'll see a summary bar at the top of the Rules page showing you the total hit count of all Allow and Block rules. Additionally, we've moved hit count stats up to the top of each rule's detail page so you can easily access info about each individual rule.
2. IPv6 Delegation
IPv6 Delegation Video Tutorial
Firewalla now supports manually configuring IPv6 Delegation settings. If you have multiple IPv6 WANs and want a certain LAN's IPv6 address to be delegated by a specific WAN, go to the LAN's network settings, scroll down to locate IPv6 Delegation, switch to Manual, and select a WAN with DHCPv6 enabled.
We've also fixed the problem of IPv6 traffic getting routed to a dead end if you have a dual-WAN load balance setup and one of your WAN's IPv6 is down.
3. Source NAT Rules: 1:1 NAT
Source NAT Rules Video Tutorial
If your Internet Service Provider has given you several IP addresses, you might want to assign a particular outgoing WAN IP address for specific devices. In the NAT Settings under the Network Manager page, you can find a new rule type called "Source NAT Rules", also known as "1:1 NAT". Simply add a rule by selecting a device and a WAN IP address and save it to apply the changes.
This type of rule is only available for WAN connections with Static IP addresses.
Enhancements
- [Network Manager] Supported showing progress when updating network configuration.

Fixed the issue of not being able to set "Send Alarm Only" for Internet Connectivity Update alarms. (iOS only) - Fixed the map display error on iOS 17. (iOS only)

Has the v1.55 app update been released to TestFlight? The latest version I’m able to pull in there is v1.54.1 (1)
Please see the release notes. currently (June 22,2023) it is in early access, so you will need to follow the link to join early access. (beta is after early access)
Thanks, I understand it’s early access. I have the app setup for early access, and the box is running alpha version 1.9760 (efef68ed). That said, I can’t seem to find where to get the iOS app to upgrade from 1.54.1 (1) to 1.55. I assumed that would be in TestFlight as well, but apparently not. Any suggestions? Thanks again!
Are there any plans to implement stateful IPv6 DHCP? I would like to be able to assign specific addresses to certain devices. Thanks!
@Benjamin,
May I know why you want to assign specific address? By default, even for stateless, the device ip address should be fixed, with mac address encoded in ipv6 address.
I want to run a server externally accessible with an easy to remember IPv6 address (my dns service is unfortunately IPv4 compatible only)
@Benjamin,
Got it. I'll forward it to engineering team.
BTW: If you know how to configure IPv6 address on your server, you may assign a static IPv6 address on that server directly. It will be accessible by external, and it's a fixed address and easy to remember.
