Can't upgrade Home Assistant unless I turn off Firewalla monitoring

Has anyone run into issues trying to upgrade Home Assistant with Firewalla monitoring turned on?  I find that any time I try to do an upgrade, the upgrade fails unless I turn monitoring off. I can certainly do that, but if there's a specific rule that can be configured that would allow the upgrade to proceed properly that would be very useful.  I'd prefer not to just permanently turn off monitoring for the Home Assistant VM as that kind of defeats the purpose of having monitoring.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  If you are on about the homebridge servers, then I’ve had two running at the same time.  One in docket on the Firewalla itself and one in a vm on proxmox.   No issues at all, however I’ve deleted them both, found them either too noisy on the network, or two heavy in terms of system load on Firewalla or in the end no benefit over individual apps for monitoring.

  Thanks, Andy. I'm not doing anything special with Homebridge.  Just running Home Assistant in a VM, and when I try to do any Home Assistant software updates via the UI (e.g. core update, supervisor update, etc.), the updates fail unless I turn off Firewalla monitoring.

  this is a good article https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050255274-What-to-do-when-you-can-t-access-certain-website-

  Speaking from experience, most of the time is due to a rule blocking something needed by a service. Above article should help you out.

  Are you on about npm upgrade.  I installed it on a Linux vm, so upgrades are a couple of commands

   sudo npm outdated -g.  To check  if any package is on an old version.

  sudo npm install -g npm. To update or

  sudo npm  install -g —unsafe-perm homebridge@latest -g

  Thanks Andy - I know how to go about doing an upgrade, it's just that something is blocking the connection and the upgrade doesn't work unless I turn Firewalla monitoring off. 

  I'll try the suggestions from the Firewalla folks re: seeing if I can find out which rule is blocking something needed by a service.  Thanks all for the input!
