Hi, I am using Firewalla Gold SE in bridge mode. When I try to impose rules on devices (such as on my iPad Pro) I see the “unable to monitor” message. (“ ! Unable to monitor The traffic of this device cannot be captured by Firewalla. Connect this device to the downlink ports on Firewalla to get monitored.” Of course, I can’t connect my iPad directly to the FW’s downlink ports, right? My setup is as follows: Modem->Eero router-Firewalla

  For a bridge mode device to monitor anything, the Gold SE will need to be placed in between

  Your Router -> Gold SE -> Device

  When you do this

  Your Router -> Device

                      -> Gold SE -> Other Device

  Gold SE can only see the Other Device, but not Device.
