Is Firewall Public, or...?

Options


I'm in Auto-Pilot- I ticked Public in FW settings/reboot, but I can't find where to Verify that It's Public?


Do I need to be in a different mode, or what?

    Hi, 


     


    You should look in the Network Adapters tab, to see what "mode" the Firewall is in:


    - Open Bitdefender and click on View Features


    - Click the gear icon under Firewall


    - Under Network Adapters, you can check if your adapter (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) is set as public or not.

    It took me a couple of tries (Finally clicked on the Lower Public box, instead of the Upper), but I still don't know if I'm Public?-


    Please see snip

    Hi, 


     


    As it's explained at the bottom of the window, with the Dynamic setting you are allowing the product to decide what sort of network the computer is connected to. For a LAN network, most likely home/office settings will be applied. 


    You can use the drop-down from the right side to switch to public if you wish.

    As you see from my snip (No pre B)- I clicked the B icon, and changed the Drop down box to Public, but Dynamic still shows?


    Do I also have to click on Dynamic?

    That is just informational. If you click each one, it just give you the information about that type of network setting, thus the i symbol.
