[QUOTE="Kubla, post: 758246, member: 58813"] I have been testing the [URL='https://www.getcujo.com/']Cujo AI Firewall[/URL] and have found some pros and cons; Pros: I installed it in DHCP mode on my cable modem/router and it went without a hitch. I installed the smartphone app could see it found and was protecting all my devices, phones, ROKU, iPad Printer etc... even those attached to my cable modem router. Tech support responds very quickly, Cons: If you connect one of your devices to a VPN it will not be protected by Cujo while the VPN is on. It appears you can use a custom DNS, you can even type it in but it will not save it. I asked Cujo tech support about it, told them I wanted change my DNS to something like Norton or OpenDS but my changes would not save, it defaulted to the cable modem/router DNS. They said I can't change it but they can change it on the CUJO for me on their end I just had to send them the DNS IP's I wanted to use. The DNS is fixed on my cable modem/router and I wanted control over what DNS I wanted to use, not have to ask their permission first so to speak. So I told them never mind I would just put my cable modem/router in modem only bridge mode and use a router that I had and connect the Cujo to it that way I could control the DNS on the router. The next thing know my Cujo is flashing and I open the smartphone app and my DNS has been changed to Norton connectsafe. Now I can appreciate them trying to help but the fact they can log on to your Cujo firewall and make changes to your settings, as such likely have access to all your devices connected to it and who knows what else sends up a big red flag for me. Now I am wondering just how much access does this device give them to your network? I like the idea of using next gen firewall appliance on my network because it can protect everything not just your computer, but I don't like opening the front door and letting strangers walk around my house at will which is the felling I get using the CUJO.
