There’s no cloud connection, no external servers, and no data sent anywhere.
Your traffic is analysed locally, your logs stay on your device, and your privacy never leaves your network.
Why cloud-based security raises privacy concerns #
Many modern security products rely on cloud platforms to function. Traffic is often analysed remotely, logs are uploaded for processing, and user activity is stored on third-party servers. While this approach can be convenient, it introduces unavoidable privacy trade-offs.
Cloud-dependent systems may:
- Transmit browsing or metadata off-network
- Store logs outside the user’s control
- Require user accounts and remote dashboards
- Depend on continuous internet access to function
For privacy-conscious users, families, and small businesses, this model means trusting external infrastructure with sensitive network activity.
Firegate takes a different approach #
Firegate is designed to operate entirely within your local network.
All inspection, filtering, and decision-making happens on the Firegate device itself. Internet traffic is analysed as it passes through your network, without being copied, forwarded, or mirrored to the cloud.
There are:
- No external analytics servers
- No remote control platforms
- No mandatory user accounts
- No background data uploads
Firegate continues to function even if external services are unavailable, because it does not rely on them.
Local analysis, local logs #
Firegate stores logs and security events locally on its internal storage. This means:
- Logs remain under your physical control
- Data is not shared with third parties
- You decide how long information is retained
- Nothing is monetised or resold
Local logging also reduces exposure in the event of third-party breaches, account compromises, or platform outages.
Privacy without sacrificing protection #
Operating locally does not mean reduced security. Firegate still applies:
- Network-level filtering
- Reputation-based blocking
- Regular rule updates
These updates improve protection logic without requiring your network traffic to be sent anywhere. Only the rules are updated — not your data.
No subscriptions, no telemetry #
Firegate does not require subscriptions to unlock privacy features.
It does not collect usage statistics, behavioural profiles, or diagnostic telemetry tied to your activity.
Your network usage is not analysed for marketing, advertising, or analytics purposes.
Designed for trust and ownership #
Firegate is built on a simple principle: your network belongs to you.
By keeping all analysis local and eliminating cloud dependency, Firegate provides protection without surveillance. There is no need to trade privacy for security, and no requirement to trust external platforms with your data.
The result #
- Your traffic stays inside your network
- Your logs stay on your device
- Your privacy remains yours
No cloud.
No data collection.
No compromises.
