Extremely Slow Screen Sharing
Before I installed the Firewalla, I've always screen shared my personal mac book pro from my work mac book pro in a multi monitor setup.
After the Firewalla, the screen sharing is so slow it is unusable. I have a segmented network. The work devices are in a Work VLAN and my home mac book pro is in the Admin VLAN. I have created a rule to allow connectivity from the work device to the admin device.
The screen share session will initiate (very slowly) and ultimately I will be able to login; however, there are many seconds of lag that make it unusable.
I'm sure the introduction of the Firewalla is impacting this but not quite sure what to optimize to get this working like it used to.

Just a quick update here...
This morning the whole network seemingly ground to a halt. I couldn't get the my.firewalla.com web UI to load so I rebooted the Firewalla and all speeds are back to normal, including the mac to mac screen sharing.
I will add this though, I've been running this unit for about 1 week. I also have one docker container and image on the Firewall to run the UniFi controller. The docker image itself, as mentioned in the tutorial, is about 800MB; however, i'm using about 90% of the 3.4GB allocated to the docker space. It appears that log files might be eating up a good portion of of available space.
I've been using docker for a number of years but I don't use it daily so I'm a bit rusty with it but not a total noob. Prune isn't going to help me here as I only have one container and image. What else am I missing to help clean up the space?

The disk isn't full. Still about 13% of the 3.4GB available; however, now i'm not sure this is docker related.
I have had the DNS freeze up multiple times this morning to the point where I can't even get to devices on my local network. I've rebooted a couple of times.
Yesterday, I tried the beta software for the box and immediately had problems so I reverted back to stable. Thats the only other variable I can think of that I have introduced in the last day to the new network setup.
I turned off DoH on the last reboot and things seem better for now. Will monitor today.

Today has been really bad. At about 2:15 on a customer call DNS just stopped working. The call dropped. Trying to ping gateway resulted in "host down". I struggled for 45 minutes and two firewalla reboots to get it to come back up. pings to internal devices were mostly unsuccessful. Every once in a while something would get through but was 300 to 500 ms.
