pre sales: content filter & user access

March 23, 2021 03:22

I'd like to replace a poor-performing product with the firewalla gold. This is the set of rules I have now. Can I do all this with a firewalla gold?

1. I have a list of mac addresses which can access everything 24x7. My kid's equipment (about 8 mac addresses) is blocked from access the internet from 11:15pm to 3am on nights when they have school the next day (Sun-Thurs). Fri & Sat nights, the internet turns off at 12:30am (actually the next morning)

2. I have a list of about 40 domains (netflix for example) which I block when they should be doing school work - Mon through Fri from 6am to 3pm.

Thanks

One more pre-sales question - can I access, configure and diagnose problems with my network connectivity if its access to the cloud is down? If xfinity is down, how can I see what is going on in my network? Is there a web client where I can just connect to my firewalla?

Yes to all questions. Very simple and powerful setup from your phone and web UI. I have all my devices organized into groups (kids, IoT, “trusted” IoT, guests/quarantine, shared devices, Mom and Dad) with tailored rules for site blocking, forced Google safe search, social, routing some clients through VPN client, etc. I haven’t tested authN to web UI without a WAN connection working though. The web UI login requires a QR code to be scanned from your Firewalla phone app to authenticate (very slick / secure).
