Thanks, @Flood and Flood's wife So is this some kind of firewall functionality that runs in addition to the Windows firewall or does it more focus on scanning for viruses transmitted on network connections? Can this feature be disabled in KSCF? Can I put in a feature request that the protection level for each connection can be modified after the initial dialog even with the free version? I’m a little concerned that some network protocols might get blocked and in addition to fiddling with router settings and Windows firewall settings, I would also have to fiddle with KSC settings to get them to work.

Hi @Flood and Flood's wife Thanks for your response. From your link it still isn’t clear to me what the middle option “Restrict, but allow shared access“ does exactly. Also, with free KSC is there a way to change the setting for the Wifi networks once an option has been selected in the popup dialog (e.g. set a previously trusted network as not trusted)?

Yes

When I connect to a new Wifi network, KSC shows me the following prompt: New Wi-Fi network (secured) detected ... No, block external access to computer Restrict, but allow shared access Yes, allow all network activityI do not understand exactly what these options mean and when clicking on the little help icon, it opens a non-existing resource in the browser (404). I assume that these correspond more or less to the Windows firewall categorization of networks “public” and “private”, but since KSC does not include a firewall and my PC is protected by the Windows firewall, I do not understand the purpose of this prompt nor the meaning of the middle button. It would be nice if someone could clarify and if this could be added to the documentation of KSC.
