Network profiles

Version 1.0.0

Windows Firewall blocks the unathorized access of programs and apps to your computer based on three network location profiles:

Private network: for home or office networks
Public network: for public places' networks
Domain network: for networks with a domain controller

You can manage these profiles from the configuration of your Avira product under Internet protection > Windows Firewall > Network profiles.

For further information about these network profiles, please visit the official Microsoft website.

Warning

Windows Firewall applies the same rules for all networks that belong to the same network location, this means that, if you allow to run a program or application, this program or application will also be granted access in all the networks that have the same profile.
