Honest
Where Firewalla is ahead
A fair comparison says this plainly.
- Network security
- Firewalla is a dedicated firewall with intrusion detection and prevention, per-device rules and network segmentation. ALL1 is not a firewall appliance.
- Parental controls
- Firewalla's family features, such as content filtering and scheduled social-media breaks, are more extensive.
- Multi-gig routing
- Gold-series models are built to route multi-gigabit connections. ALL1 connects over Gigabit Ethernet.
- Lower entry price
- Purple SE costs $289 if network protection is all you need.
Earn
A firewall watches traffic. ALL1 can turn spare capacity into income.
Firewalla inspects what passes through your network. ALL1 runs your privacy services and apps, and when it has spare compute, bandwidth or storage it can run approved workloads for verified businesses on the ALL network. You are paid for actual usage.
*50% node operator, 20% to community.
Earnings depend on real network demand, the apps you run, your uptime, bandwidth and location. They are not guaranteed and can be zero. ALL1 is sold as a personal server with bundled services, not as an investment.
You choose what runs
Set it to automatic or approve every app yourself. Anything can be stopped in one tap.
Only verified services connect
Every company and developer is vetted before reaching the network.
Apps stay in their sandbox
Each app gets only the resources it was granted. It cannot read your files or other apps.
Usage is metered, payouts follow
CPU, bandwidth and storage are measured. Your 70%* is paid in USD or USDC.
Included
Firewalla covers two of these. ALL1 includes all four.
Home VPN and ad blocking come with both. Premium VPN seats and IoT integration come only with ALL1, included for five years.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can I use ALL1 and Firewalla together?+
Yes. Firewalla protects the network edge and ALL1 runs on your network as a server. They do different jobs.
What does Premium VPN add over Firewalla's VPN?+
Firewalla's VPN connects you back to your own home or to a provider you pay for separately. ALL1 includes 5 Premium VPN seats for 5 years in addition to Home VPN.
Is there a subscription?+
No. ALL1 is a one-time $599 purchase with more than $1,000 of value included: Home VPN, 5 Premium VPN seats, ad blocking and IoT integration for 5 years, and ALL CONNECT remote access currently included.
Do I have to share my ALL1 with the network?+
No. Run it as a private server only, approve each network app one by one, or set it to automatic. You can stop any app in one tap.
Can network apps see my files?+
No. Network apps run in isolated sandboxes with only the resources they were granted, and application data is encrypted on disk. Hosts see device health and earnings, not the content of the services they run.
How much can I earn?+
It depends on demand for the apps you run, your uptime, connection and location. Hosts keep 70%* of what their device generates, paid in USD or USDC. There is no guaranteed amount.
Your cloud. Your privacy. Your income.
