Firewalla is blocking some of the features in homeschooling software we're now all of a sudden using. An example is Schoology.com

Not sure if it is your gaming blocker or ad blocker doing it but is there a way to define an exception?

  This is one of the few complaints I have about the unit is the lack of an ability to troubleshoot issues like this.  I believe, in flows, it should show blocked connections as well and which module/feature is doing the blocking.  Having something not work is purely an assumption that the FW is blocking something w/ no way of really knowing outside of an OpenDNS page returning an error.

  I totally agree. I can’t wait to get the whitelisting feature and really in the flows it should show all blocks and why. Would make it so much easier to debug.

  We hear you. The white list feature will be ready for Blue/Red alpha testing soon. (Gold beta users are already testing them now)

  How would one block traffic between VLANs?

  it will be supported, such as not allowing guest network to accessing the main network.

  I agree with them on displaying the blocked connections in the network flows. This would be very helpful during troubleshooting.
