Upgrade to FUll Fibre and now noerton says I'm on a public network.Why?

Go to solution

Hi,

I just upgraded to full fibre broadband. Now Norton antivirus says that I'm on a Public network and has blocked certain things (not sure what). Why would this happen, and can I switch the firewall back to a private network or is there something wrong? I'm not sure if there's a security problem or not.

Any ideas welcome.

 

Regards Steve

Windows defaults to the public setting everytime it establishes a new connection.  On Windows 11, go into Settings >  Network & Internet > Ethernet or Wi-Fi (depending on what you are using).
