So I need a simple but fast Untag bridge firewall but the bridge can't have a IP set to it due to the network.

The only way the Purple would see the internet is by a VLAN on the WAN port... but it looks like this can't do this?

I see where you can use WiFi for the Purple to have internet access with a bridge? Which should work out ok...

Also is this whole firewalla thing only work over the internet to config it? And when in Bridge you can't like have a LAN VLAN and WAN VLAN to do SNAT on them but aslo have a bridge?

Thanks

  Well! found out the hard way! it completely can not firewall the bridge traffic very disappointed.

  The thing is a paper wight to me but please I would like to see a update where I can use it.

  Update so not a complete loss their is a hackly way that can be done but its not perfect as long as your IP does not change...

  I post how its done but I in support with firewalla to hopefully make it better. 

  Update2 found another problem the kills me my plans in using it the bridge on seeing traffic to a client it did not made sends a RST for TCP causing me problems.

  How are you connecting the firewalla in bridge mode finally? Firewalla will need an IP address while in bridge mode.

  After more talks with support they can not help me do what I want to do that another maker of firewalls can.

  I will not be using the Purple in my network.

  This is the setup it can't do for anyone looking where I want one WAN IP by the client to be firewalled on a untagged bridge where as another firewall making can do the same setup fine.
