    Hi @Daniel - AVATAR,

    The passive detection mode is part of the Bitdefender Firewall advanced settings and it concerns Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) device detection. When this setting is off, the Bitdefender firewall listens for DHCP packets only on port 67 UDP. When it’s on, the firewall listens and receives all packets without interfering with DHCP servers that run on the local machine.

    For more information about firewall configuration, refer to “Firewall” (p. 104) in the relevant user guide here.

    I hope the information is helpful.
