Does anyone out there have a #Firewalla (Gold) that I can ask a question of?
The question would be this: I have my 1st #WAN (of multi-wan) as cable modem. That has a static-ish PUBLIC IP. The 2nd #WAN is #TMobile's 5g gateway (currently set as failover-only) which Firewalla sees as Multi-nat'd.
I want to know if firewalla can #VPN ONLY THROUGH 5G (2nd) WAN so I can do true multi-wan with a public IP. ... ie: tunnel over the 5g connection to a paid-for-#VPN.
Please re-toot if possible.
THX!
Finally ponied up for a #Firewalla and put the #TP-Link #Deco units in AP mode. I cannot stress enough how horrible the Deco platform is as a router. Everything I was unable to do with the Deco is configured and working as desired on day one with the Firewalla.
Self-install AsusWRT-Merlin on Asus router: WireGuard and encrypted DNS are essential, and the firmware comes with more security settings than the typical ISP router. If TrendMicro is trusted, the extra security they offer for Asus routers can be turned on.

Turns out it was because the Eth ports on the back of the Firewalla router are NOT switched. Poor little Apple box was probably having a hell of a time rejecting unrelated packets!
Put a switch off the router and moved the wired devices over. It’s been perfect since.
Summary: Do not plug consumer devices directly into the unswitched ports on the back of a Firewalla router.
Not sure if this will help anyone, but I just fixed a networking problem that has plagued us for a long time. Our #AppleTV was being really really flaky. Complaining about there being no network when there was. The #HomePods attached to it would get thrown off constantly. It was a very non-Apple experience. But I could never diagnose it.
It was plugged into the back of the #Firewalla router.
Recently I noticed a new event log in the router app that showed that Eth port crapping out constantly.
Crap. Since last week I was deciding which #Ubiquiti devices to get to replace my Eero network devices and the #U7Pro sold out twice. thinking of picking an #u6mesh for the area where i would eventually want something like u7 pro. Even considering a #u6enterprise for that area, but that would be overkill. Even if it's for the first floor, since it just an apartment. #UniFi p.s. i'm keeping my #Firewalla as my router and firewall.

Been tinkering around with #Firewalla and #NextDNS. Fun and versatile combo for a home network. #Security #Privacy #cybersecurity
