Firewalla Gold VLAN tagging?

I have been unable to find an answer to my question by searching through the other posts, so here goes. 

Does the Firewalla Gold support 802.1Q VLAN tagging? I see that you can set a single VLAN id on a port, but my question is whether it is possible to supply multiple VLAN tags to a port? Yes, I know there is an easy way to get 2 or 3 VLAN ids working with 2 or 3 of the ports on the Firewalla, but I need to know if I can specify multiple VLAN tags on a single port. 

If not possible, would be a great future feature, although I know it is complicated by questions of DHCP servers for each VLAN etc....

  The Gold can support many VLAN on a single port.  All you need to do is create LAN segments with different VLAN ID's.  See this example, which has two VLAN's on one port https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046231493-Firewalla-Gold-Tutorial-Network-Segmentation-Example-with-VLAN

  • Each port on the Gold is a trunk port (some call it a tagged port), so you can add as many VLAN as you want.
  • trunk port need to connect to the trunk port on your switch

  Yes, you can create multiple vlan interfaces on a single physical port.

  No, FWG still does not support Link Aggregation to better balance the traffic from all of these VLANs down to the switch. (shameless plug, been after this for months and months..)

  Currently have 3 Vlans on top of the 2 port LAG going to a managed unifi switch (currently only using 2).  Then another two Vlans on last LAN port going to a proxmox server.  This proxmox server is currently hosting a pfsense router for testing with several virtual boxes behind it again running Vlans for a Lab. The proxmox server has work stuff separated from my lab which is just a play area.  I have vpns on the gold and on proxmox, both servers and clients on both boxes.

  You set this by:
  Adding two ports on network settings as vlans and Turin Vlan for these ports?
  On switch also lag for these ports and 802.1q tagged tryb port for both of firewalla connected ports and untagged for those witch are related to specific Vlan yes?
