Key Principles of Zero Trust
- Segmentation and Microsegmentation: Divide your network into smaller segments to limit the lateral movement of threats.
- Least Privilege Access: Grant users and devices only the minimum access necessary to perform their functions on the network.
- Continuous Monitoring: Continuously monitor and verify the security posture of all users and devices.
We usually run a pre-sale cycle, but due to the political changes (new President), it is not possible for us to pre-sale and build units without knowing possible tariff impacts. Instead, we’ve used the sale proceeds from BFCM to pre-purchase a batch of units.
The AP7 units should be built soon and be available for ordering. We plan to split the orders into groups: (This plan is still tentative, we may also merge beta+early access together)
- Early Access (for our earliest supporters at the lowest price, available mid- to late-December 2024. Must be running Firewalla Gold (v1 & v2), Gold SE, Gold Plus or Gold Pro in router mode)
- Beta Access (about 1 month later, available mid-January 2025. Must be running Firewalla Purple or Gold series units in router mode)
- Production (to be decided after 1/20/2025)
- For details please refer the the status update section below

Thank you. Still "page not found" when browsing from the UK for https://firewalla.com/products/firewalla-ap7-world

If you're planning to order the Firewalla AP7 (World) version soon (Tuesday, July 15, 2025 at 8:00AM CEST) but can't see the product page (https://firewalla.com/products/firewalla-ap7-world), and you're located in the UK / EU / Switzerland / Iceland / Liechtenstein / Norway / Türkiye — the quick fix is to set the store to your local country.

I inquired last week here if I could purchase the AP7 (World version) and ship it to the Philippines, and your answer was yes. However, when I visited your link earlier, I noticed a note there stating that if I were to order this from a country not listed, my order would be cancelled. So which is which?
-
This was the exact response I got on this thread 13 days ago -
"If phlippines is okay with CE certification, then it should be okay to use it there."
But up until yesterday, you posted that note on about you're canceling orders not from those country mentioned. Well, I guess this is very disappointing.
