Very excited to try out the new FWB+.
Thank you @hydn . I will test the device for a few weeks, dial it in, and I will write a review about it.
Thank you again.

Awesome Ben! Shipping had said the 10th would be delivery, so that was quick.
It looks a bit dusty. Was the box sealed completely? Or your camera is super high def or something lol You can never be to sure with Amazon. 
Looking forward to seeing it in action and reading your findings and impressions.
It was new indeed , sealed and all.
The plastic cover was still on the device, so I’d imagine the dust stuck to it like a magnet. 
After work, I’m going to install it.

I am not really a fan of hardware firewalls, I’ve used SonicWalls in the past and didn’t really like them.
I’d rather just put pfSense on existing hardware. That being said, I look forward to seeing what you think of this device as I have a friend who is currently considering it.
That’s really cool. I remember reading about Firewalla a while back, but didn’t look into it much since I have gigabit Internet service (they have since released a gigabit version, I see). I look forward to your review.
Also, congratulations, @Ben!

One plus about this device is the low power usage @ only ~7W! Will be interesting the performance possible. The Apple app is rated noticeably higher than the Android app. I wonder why… maybe more features?
Do you plan on running any docker containers? I’m curious as to how that would impact the performance.
I might run a few small projects, like grafana and prometheus. Those shouldn’t use more than 100mb ram together.

@Ben Is this Firewalla still working or still in-use? I’ve been considering the Gold but the price just seems high. It may be worth it but their pricing makes buying a 1u box and using pfsense seem more attractive.
