Wanted a firewall between me and the internet that wasn't managed by my internet provider. Also wanted one that I didn't have to have a cloud-based account to access and manage.
So far I am impressed as it seems to give you all the options you need to manage but not overwhelm with too many knobs that might require a person to be a network security specialist to understand.
I have been watching the security logs for a few weeks as somebody supposedly in Amsterdam seems determined to brute force my security DVR on my network. Made me rethink my home network security to see some of the determined hacking attempts going on.
Pros to me:
Can manage from home network without creating cloud based account through the manufacture. It is there if you want.
Simple to use via app or web based, very decent GUI interface
Good amount of network metrics for knowing whats going on with the network.
Keeps itself updated to latest security releases if you want to allow, manually selectable otherwise.
Throughput seems to be respectable with no stability issues noticed with the unit through the first 2 months of use.
Cons:
Only a insignificant one for most people in that I wish all ethernet ports were 2.5G instead of one 2.5g and the other 4 being standard 1G.
