USG and Firewalla Gold/Purple
Hello.
My current network setup is
ISP <--> modem <--> USG <--> SWITCHs <--> APs (Network 10.0.10.0/24)
I want to install the firewalla unit after USG, and still to be able to see all the devices in my network via USG controller. Also I want to use the firewalla with all its potentials without bridge mode limitations.
If I modify the network as:
ISP <--> modem <--> USG <-(Network 10.10.10.0/24)-> FIREWALLA <-(Network 10.0.10.0/24)-> SWITCHs <--> APs [firewalla box in router mode]
will I be able to list all 10.0.10.0/24 devices on USG controller and view all statistics for each devices (not seeing that the most part of traffic originates only from the firewalla box, as currenly seeing with firewalla blue in simple mode), and the same time to use firewalla with all its features?

Use the transparent bridge mode, it will be perfect for your usage. See https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500000822462-Firewalla-Transparent-Bridge-Mode-1-973-

What features from the Gold will I lose if I put it in Bridge mode with a USG/Edge router. Ive just bought a Unifi switch and AP's and was just wondering about the USG/Edge Router in conjunction with the FWG. I basically enjoy tinkering around and was very curious about this config and what would it bring to the table and what I would be sacrificing.
Modem -->> USG/Edge Router -->> FWG -->> SWITCH -->> AP's
The two main features of the gold I use extensively is the VPN server, both OpenVPN and Wireguard and Docker Pihole. I use the VPN Client now and again to 3rd party VPN providers. Plus the usual DHCP, monitoring, rules, VLANs and LAGs to the switch.
Thanks for any input.
