The latest product from Firewalla is the new Gold Plus firewall. This incredibly well-made device is housed in a robust metal case and offers four 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports that can handle a throughput of 5Gbps. That’s fast enough, even for a medium-sized business network. It’s possibly a bit over the top for a home network, but it’s arguably one of the best and most comprehensive network security devices for the money.
The Firewalla Gold Plus can be set up and managed using the superb Firewalla smartphone app. It takes less than 10 minutes to get everything up and running with the Gold Plus as the master router for a home or office network. The Gold Plus can also be used in parallel or simple mode by plugging it into the network’s main router.
As well as blocking nasty attacks – like denial of service etc. – Firewalla Gold Plus can rope off parts of the Internet preventing selected users from accessing social media, video streaming or any other categories you may want to block in an office or home environment. This can all be achieved with the Firewalla app.
I have one of these - real world results are outstanding.
