mapped network drive / blocked on startup

I installed bitdefender 2019.

When starting my pc it blocks the mapped NAS drives. (see picture drives.png below).

When I stop the firewall and reboot everything works so the problem is firewall related.

I need to reboot for that to work so I assume thet the need for a reboot has something to do with creation of the the mapped drives on startup.

Implementing

doesn't do anything as far as I can tell.

UNC paths don't seem to work either unless I disable the firewall.

Suggestions?

thx

Turned off stealth mode: no result

.. a day further & no idea on how to solve this. The only workaround I found was disabling the firewall.

I was considering switching to bitdefender but this doesn't seem to be working... No responses either?

Jadm

just contacted them...

I'll post any relevant info here.

Can you please let me know if, with the Firewall turned ON, you can access the network drives by IP directly?

Thanks!

If I use \\192.168.2.25\ as unc path, it works.

To be clear: it's a good workaround but I would like a complete solution :-)

This is a known issue and yes accessing by IP is considered only a workaround.

I logged into the Forum to log the same issue. Basically have problems over WiFi at home, where the Firewall setting in the Network Adapters, the settings for WiFi is "Dynamic"; whilst when is Home/Office and have the Rules setup works fine.

Hi Velleda,

The Firewall should work just fine with the rules set to Home/Office and we recommend you to keep these rules.

It does not work for WiFi. Setting for WiFi is "Dynamic" as I can be connected via WiFi in many places and not all them are Home/Office.

Workaround about accessing using IP address instead oc Computer name works, but is just that, a workaround, this issue should be fixed by Bitdefender...
