Benn looking around the menus, but can't find the option. How can I easily block and unblock internet access by blocking the firewall?

    Hi StarRider,


    Welcome to the Bitdefender forums.


    To do that you can click on Manage Adapters on the Bitdefender - Firewall panel > select your current adapter > for Network type choose Untrusted (this will block the traffic for this adapter). To restore the internet access you can then switch Network type to Home/Office.


    You can also easily block the internet access through Parental Control. Here's a knowledge-base article on how to do that:

    Please feel free to reply if you have other questions or concerns. Thank you! :)

    Hi Georgia,


    Yes, I seen that. Seems a long way to go to do what I want. Right now, the easiest way is to go through 'Open Network and Sharing center'.


    It would be nice to be able to block traffic via the task bar icon, where the Show, Turn Game Mode On and Update now buttons are. Maybe in the future Bitdefender will have this available.
