New network detected

By default, ESET Endpoint Security uses Windows settings when a new network is detected. To display a dialog window when a new network is detected, change the protection type of new networks in Known networks to ask user. Then, if a connection to a new network is detected, the user can select the level of protection. This setting will apply for connections to all remote computers from the given network.

There are two network protection modes you can choose in the configure network protection window:

• Yes—For trusted network (home or office network). Your computer and shared files stored on your computer are visible to other network users, and system resources are accessible to other users on the network. We recommend using this setting when accessing a secure local network.
• No—For untrusted network (public network). Files and folders on your system are not shared with or visible to other users on the network, and system resource sharing is deactivated. We recommend using this setting when accessing wireless networks.

If the network is set as trusted, directly connected subnets are automatically considered trusted.
