I recently got a Gold SE and have been loving the parental controls!

One thing I’d love to see is the ability to apply a rule to multiple Users or Devices at once.

I have a separate User for each of my kids, with their devices grouped under them. This works great since they each need different rules.

But sometimes I want the same rule for multiple kids, and right now I have to create that exact same rule for each one.

It would be nice if I could just select multiple Users or multiple devices under “Apply To” when making a rule.

That way, I could still have different rules for each kid, but also have shared rules that I only need to create and manage once.

I’m hoping this wouldn’t be too hard to add, since you can already apply one rule to multiple devices through a User. It seems like allowing multiple Users to be selected would be pretty similar.

Much appreciated!

Which OOTB blacklist blocks a website that reports publicly available airplane transponder data?

Every time I want to reach https://my.firewalla.net/entrance to scan the QR code and access my box, I have to:

1. Log in with username and password
2. Scroll past the plan marketing
3. Click "Continue with Lite plan"

Every single session. This is hardware I own that used to be reachable through its own local UI with no upsell in the way.

I understand wanting to promote paid plans, and I don't mind seeing the offer occasionally. But forcing the same plan selection on every login is tedious and makes the product feel worse to use.

Suggestions:

• Remember my plan choice so I'm not asked again
• If you want to re-offer upgrades, do it periodically (every 30 or 90 days), not every session
• Add a "Don't show this again" option

Anyone else running into this? Firewalla team, any chance this can be changed?

Needing to re-flash my GoldSE, Etcher failed loading to getting installed on a microSD card. It was the latest release so I wasn’t sure what was going on. Can’t quite remember the error but something like metadata not correct. Anyway since Etcher was not taking the image, I used the Raspberry PI image application on my Mac. I didn’t select a RPi platform but selected the GSE image and targeted the microSD card - it worked! I used this for reflashing the GoldSE and all is well.
