Bitdefender block VMWare NAT Service
Hello everyone,
Today I just installed VMWare Workstation 17.6.1.
After the installation, I discovered that the NAT card on VMWare couldn't access the internet.
After a few hours of investigation, I found that the firewall feature in Bitdefender Total Security was blocking the VMWare NAT Service.
I tried turning off the firewall in Bitdefender, and then the NAT card was able to access the internet.
However, when I turned the firewall back on, the NAT card lost internet access after a few seconds.
How should I address this issue? Please help me. Thank you.

Hello,
Try this:
- Go to Network Adapters tab and set the network type to Home/Office using the drop-down menu near its name
- Then, from the same Firewall tab, click on Settings from the top-right ,then, for the network you're currently connected to, uncheck the Stealth Mode button to disable it.
If it's still not working, add a network exception by following the steps in this article:
Let us know how it goes.
