Something like NoTrack?

Does firewalla do this, or are there plans, to block tracking cookies? It seems like a smarter person than I could install this on a blue, but firewalla is also intercepting DNS so I'm not sure how that would work.

  Have you tried adblock? it will block some of the items on the list.  If it is not enough, we can easily use these lists and port them to firewalla.  The only problem is ... these things are extremely sensitive (meaning, blocking these, can block other services) , and the quality of the blocks can only be managed by people who know what they are doing.   Otherwise, people will call us and tell us Firewalla is broken ...

  Yes I do have adblock enabled, and yes I can see that it could cause issues too.

  Hi there, it's interesting idea, and if you guys (Firewalla team) decide to port them to Firewalla (I think you should do), may you could create a "section" on Firewalla app called (Advanced Users) with a few warnings about this "section" to let them know what they're doing and add not only this feature there, but other possible features that requires advanced users !

  That should be clear to them, that by enabling features on that advanced users section, may cause problems to other things, and warn them to turn off if something stops working...

  I think it's valid and would add lots of value to Firewalla!

  @Rodrigo,   brilliant idea!  Let me relay back to our UI designers.  I think if we create a button say "if you don't understand what a /24 mean, then don't touch this button"   Then hide a bunch of things in that may work.   Or if you touch this, we can't support you any more :)

  @Firewalla exactly ! And on top of that, I'm sure in beta version the "Advanced Users" can help contribute with the comunity and we'll have the "knowing issues" if enabled some of the "advanced users features" !

  I'm glad you guys take our suggestions and apply it to your product !

  I'm just waiting for the 2020 version of Firewalla =)

  If we going to do something, very likely we will be doing on the Gold for sure.  It is a much more complex system.
