Unable to stop 'New Ethernet network detected' alert

[robert.routledge]

I receive the 'New Ethernet network detected' alert every time I connect my Private Internet Access VPN

If I select 'Yes, allow all network activity' then I see the PIA tunnel added in the 'Available networks' table

However, as it appears to be a different address(es) each time the next time you connect you get the alert

I have also unchecked 'Notify of vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi networks but it does not stop the alerts

Please can you advise how I can stop the alerts every time PIA VPN connects?

Please upgrade for free to Kaspersky Plus ?

I have now upgraded to Kaspersky Premium 21.22.7.466(a) and the issue is still there

Go to FireWall settings -> NetWorks, edit there that one, and set it manually to Public.

As I wrote in my original post it appears to be a different address(es) each time I connect so how will changing the network type to public help, assuming it ordinarily would, if as is likely it will be a new IP address(es)?

@robert.routledge Try this: right click on "PIA Tunnel" network -> Edit -> Automatically move new networks to the group -> Trusted network -> Save all changes. Screenshot:

This fix works does not work if the PC is booted or rebooted. How I can stop the alerts in this instance?
