Ethernet run next to main electrical service line

Will this cause problems setup like this? The Ethernet cable (the grey one circled in red) from the ONT was run inside my house right next to the main 200amp electric service line using the same hole. I guess the installer figured it would be the easiest way to get it inside. The ethernet is only up against the electric cable going through the exterior wall and separates once inside, It is a regular cat5e cable. I have 1gbps service from Verizon and I normally get between 500-800mbps on speedtests.

Extra port on the Switch X?

I'm interested in the upcoming switches and I was wondering what this unlabeled port on the Switch X is for. Is it just a console port, or something more interesting like a dedicated uplink for the Firewalla itself?

Block access for only one device inside of a user group

I have a user setup for with two devices assigned, a phone and a laptop. I want to block shopping and social apps on only the phone, but not the laptop. It does not seem possible to do this since a user is treated the same as a group, and devices in a group cannot have individual rules assigned to them.

The only way I have been able to make it work is by removing the phone from the user and assigning the rules directly to the device. Is it possible to do this while keeping both devices assigned to the user?

Why is there no way to include Pre-tax contributions to goals?

I have a retirement goal setup with all of my various employer sponsored plans linked to it, however the projections displayed are inaccurate. The accounts receive about $1850 in pretax contributions each month between my deductions and employer matches.

If I try and add these as a contribution inside the goal it destroys my normal budget since Monarch will "helpfully" add an $1850 expense each month. This is useless as Monarch never sees the $1850 in the first place. I know there is a work around to add manual income transactions to gross-up my pay, but that is an unacceptable solution that adds extra work.

Just let us choose to not have a goal automatically added to the budget when we set it up. Have a toggle labeled Pre-Tax or something to let us add contributions to retirement save up goals without destroying our monthly budgets. The projections on my goal are off by over 7 years because of this.
