Hello, 

I have just setup the Firewalla Red, (simple mode at first then experimarntal simple mode and even - Beta) not tried DHCP yet!

It finds my devices on the network, I have the app on a samsung phone, the network is simple, 1 router default settings several TVs, laptops phones (22 devices founds) 40mb ADSL broadband.

The app seems to work fine, The problem is notmatter what device I choose it does not block internet traffic, 

 

Any suggestions?

  90% of the time the problem is ipv6, check if you have ipv6 enabled on your network, if you do, tap on + button, then tap to turn on ipv6

  We are slowly turning on ipv6 default support in simple mode, so hopefully soon, you will not have to dance around this problem.  We disabled it by default due to the diversity of IPv6 implementations worldwide (and inside routers)

  I have currently have a Firewalla Gold. I have a set of three Amcrest Cameras in a group. I have the group configured with Internet Block on. These devices are still able to access the internet. I have my firewalla configured as router mode and IPV6 is turned off.

  @julio, can you double-check the devices in the camera group and make sure they are the right devices? (we have seen devices have multiple MAC, and also devices connecting to extenders that hides their MAC)
