How Does Firewalla Cyber Security Work?
Firewalla's main packet processing engine has four different stages:
Deep Insight: Make sense of all network traffic. Dig deep and understand what they are.
Active Protect: Intrusion detection services detect bad things and Intrusion prevention services block bad things before they happen.
Behavior Analytics: See things from a different angle.
Control: This is where you tell us what to do. Apply sophisticated rules to control traffic flows.
From smart speakers to baby monitor cameras, there is no shortage of technology in your home for hackers to exploit. Firewalla sends automatic alerts and protects your devices from cyber threats.
Detect, prevent and block active cyberattacks and intrusions
Monitor for abnormal trends through intelligent behavior analytics
Actively block malicious sites in real-time
Continuously scan your home for security vulnerabilities and risks
Blocking Countries off your Network
Advanced GEO-IP Filtering
Using GEO-IPÂ Filtering, a technology that can block network traffic from entire countries, you can effectively stop hackers from remotely attacking your business or home network.
New Device Quarantine
Protect your network by automatically place new or unknown devices in a Quarantine group. You can apply any content filtering or rate limit rules to this Quarantine group.
Scan
Identify security risks across your network, including open ports and weak passwords.
Make Your Privacy a Priority with VPN
Are you comfortable sharing your data when using public Wi-Fi or traveling to regions where the internet is filtered or controlled? Introducing Firewalla VPN Server, a VPN server that runs inside of your home or business without charging a monthly fee.

DNS cache to speed up all other lookups
Protect Your DNS
DNS over HTTPS
Traditionally, DNS requests are sent in plain text between the client and the DNS server. DNS over HTTPS (DoH) sends DNS requests encrypted over HTTPS. It makes DNS exchange more secure and protects user privacy.

Intercept NTP requests and process them locally on the Firewalla, reducing your network's risk exposure and saving bandwidth.
