Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to you in connection with the proceedings for the
authorization and issuance by WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") of
up to 180,000 shares (the "Company Firm Shares") of the Company's common stock,
$.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and as special counsel to
certain of the Company's stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders") in connection
with the sale of 180,000 shares by the Selling Stockholders (the "Stockholder
Firm Shares" and, together with the Company Firm Shares, the "Firm Shares"),
together with an additional 54,000 shares of Common Stock if and to the extent
the underwriters exercise an over-allotment option granted by the Selling
Stockholders (the "Option Shares"), and in connection with the preparation and
filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement")
pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), which you are filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to the Firm Shares and the Option Shares.

     We have examined the Registration Statement and such documents and records
of the Company and other documents as we have deemed necessary for the purpose
of this opinion. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that upon the
happening of the following events:

     (a)  the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and any amendments
          thereto;

     (b)  due issuance by the Company and registration by its transfer agent of
          the Company Firm Shares;
<PAGE>

     (c)  due action by the Selling Stockholders authorizing the sale of the
          Stockholder Firm Shares and the Option Shares;

     (d)  the offering and sale of the Firm Shares and, to the extent the
          underwriters exercise the over-allotment option, the Option Shares, as
          contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Underwriting
          Agreement and in accordance with the resolutions of the Board of
          Directors of the Company authorizing the sale and issuance of the
          Company Firm Shares and with the Stockholder actions authorizing the
          sale of Stockholder Firm Shares and Option Shares; and

     (e)  receipt by the Company of the consideration for the Company Firm
          Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the
          Underwriting Agreement and receipt by the Selling Stockholders of the
          consideration for the Stockholder Firm Shares and, to the extent the
          underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, for the Option
          Shares, as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the
          Underwriting Agreement;

the Firm Shares and, to the extent the underwriters exercise their over-
allotment option, the Option Shares, will be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, including any and all post-
effective amendments, and to the reference to our firm in the prospectus of the
Registration Statement under the heading "Legal Matters." In giving this
consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.


                                   Very truly yours,
