always loosing exception rule


Greetings,


it was the case on bitdefender 2017 and now on 2018... I'm connecting on a laptop by wifi to a local network printer through some router device.


I've set a rule on bitdefender on the laptop to reach the printer : apply to all aplications, any type of network, any proto, any direction, custom external ip


The stealth mode is off for local network


Then i can connect on the printer till the session is open, but when i reboot the laptop, i loose the ability to connect to the printer (the wifi is ok, and the internet acces too).


It seems that i loose the rule.


Does anybody have an idea why i loose the exception rule ? (i've tried to force network to home/office : same behavior)


Many thanks for answering

    Hey there Aboard,


    Are you by any chance using a VPN?


  • Greeting Alex,


    thanks for answering.


    I've no vpn. I just don't know why bitdefender delete the rule. I expect a network exception to be permanent as ip are static ones.


    I'm seriously thinking about changing solution because i've to re-enter all exceptions rules for 2 or 3 devices.


    Best Regards
