Crowdfunding

Firewalla was funded through Kickstarter and later followed through via Indiegogo In-demand.  We shipped all of our orders as of late January, and now we are in production.  Here are some real comments that we put into nice graphics from our early supporters.

 

Kickstarter Supporter: "This was simple to set up and get started. The amount of traffic out of my home was an eye-opener."

Kickstarter Supporter: "My congratulations on seeing this need and coming out with such an ingenious solution. There’s so little hardware to it, that I’m still impressed and smiling 30 minutes after opening the box! :-) Well done!"

Kickstarter Supporter: "Firewalla is pretty bad ass.  Very quick and easy install. Love that I get alerted when away from home!"

Indiegogo Supporter: "Love the box! Only using it the 2nd day and I’m loving it already. Love the elaborate functions I can use. Love the flexibility and options." 

Indiegogo Supporter: "Was awakened this morning by a warning that porn was being accessed from a PS4, I have other methods to try to filter this but they didn't catch this. Firewalla did." 

Indiegogo Supporter: " After a couple of days I can say: its amazing what you create with this little box! I will write a email to you with exactly feedback :) I’m happy with firewalla, every cent was a great invest!"

Indiegogo Supporter: " Just received my Blue yesterday and I am so loving it! Now I have full control over my internet traffic.
