Traffic Flows that originate from 'firewalla' device should appear under traffic flows
Is there a way to see the flows originated by the firewalla box itself?
There is a device in my device list which represents the firewalla gold, it shows all 5 mac addresses, and as of the latest beta update this device is now showing the WAN IP instead of the ip address of the last interface that was added to the box. But, it doesn't show rest of the IPv4 or IPv6 addresses associated with the box, nor does it let me see the traffic flows which originate from the box itself. I'd like to see where the box is making connections to.

You can tap on "manage network" to see the addresses. They should be showing up in the network manager.
As of the local traffic, not showing the local traffic is historical. When we build the red and then the blue, the box was totally a different device ... it was a virtual firewall, and has no routing capabilities. And because the red/blue boxes are somewhat like a router on a stick (single port router), everything will terminate and originate on the box. Hence we can't really account for that traffic the same way.
Now, since we are now allowing more containers running on the box, we will likely in the future (not immediately) to start showing container traffic (these are the most interesting ones). Not committed date yet, we are waiting to get some stats on the container usage.

I can see the 'configured' IPv4 addresses in network manager, but I have no idea what the IPv6 or IPv6 link-local addresses are. They should show up under the device, just like all of the other devices.
I was specifically asking about flows that 'originate' from the firewalla box, such as the outbound connection to Firewalla Cloud servers, connections to NTP servers, and the like. Routers, and thus the firewalla, do not 'terminate and re-initiate' sessions, they simply route traffic and in most cases perform NAT for IPv4. In the case of Firewalla, you are intercepting DNS traffic, so that would be a flow that is initiated from the box itself.
