Network connection profiles
There are three Network protection profiles you can select from in the Configure network protection window:
- Automatic—ESET security product will select the profile automatically based on the Activators configured for each profile.
- Private (Trusted)—For trusted networks (home or office network). Your computer and shared files 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.
- Public (Untrusted)—For untrusted networks (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.
