What it is
The Bolton Technical Firewalla Purple SE is a 2 in 1 network security appliance that combines a cyber-security firewall with smart parental controls. It suits families, professionals and small businesses wanting IDS and IPS protection plus a built-in OpenVPN server without any monthly subscription fee.
What the bundle changes
The device adds intrusion prevention limited to 500 Mbits, ad blocking, VPN server and client functions, and app-based parental management to an existing network. In Simple Mode it bridges your current router, though not every router is supported and the compatibility guide must be checked before purchase.
Install experience
Setup is handled through a smartphone app and may require logging into your router to complete basic configuration. The main friction point is Simple Mode incompatibility with certain routers, which can prevent the unit from passing traffic until a supported topology is confirmed.
