If I use the firewalla vpn, doh, native family protect, and a 3rd party vpn (configured through the firewalla app) would all of my filters and rules for the network still apply and be enforceable or do I lose all of that?

  Make sure you don't turn on this, then it should work 

  • Force DNS over VPN: Force VPN-enabled devices to use DNS over VPN or not.
    • When it is on, DNS requests will be forwarded to the VPN server. DNS features like Ad Block, Family Mode, Safe Search, and DoH will not work on devices connected to VPN.
    • When it is off, DNS requests will be forwarded to one Firewalla-managed DNS server. More detail can be found here: Firewalla DNS Services Introduction.

  Thanks for the information, and the quick response. I got far enough to find out I can't use it yet since I'm on ipv6. Bummer. Would be a handy feature to have enabled on the box. Hopefully enough providers get with the times like PureVPN did and prevent leaks so you can unblock it.

  If you are on ipv6, and you are sending that device to your firewalla (running router mode), ipv6 should be blocked.

  Gold Plus in router mode, ipv6 works, but cannot enable vpn through firewalla app due to the ipv6 (error message). I can turn IPv6 off but i prefer it, just preference. I'll just settle with desktop vpn for now.
