Hey I am trying to place an order for Firewalla Blue but the price is showing $199 in the cart and not $149
Please let me know is it $199 or $149?
Please go to https://firewalla.com and then click on "Pre-Order Blue" button
Are there any subscription fees? Or do I just buy the hardware?
No, there is no subscription fee…
You just buy the hardware and download the free mobile App.
