We'll also show you how you can show or hide the Network Protection and Firewall box in Windows Security for other users.
Firewall and network protection in Windows 10
the Firewall and network protection The Windows 10 zone is one of seven zones that protect your device and let you specify how you want your device to be protected in the Windows Defernder Security Center. The seven domains include:
- Protection against viruses and threats
- Account Protection
- Firewall and network protection
- Control of the application and the browser
- Security of the device
- Performance and health of the device
- Family options
Here you can view the status of the Windows Defender firewall and see the networks to which your device is connected. You can also enable or disable advanced Windows Defender firewall options to access the following network options:
- Domain networks (workplace)
- Private networks (discoverable)
- Public networks (not discoverable).
The firewall and network protection zone can be hidden from users. This can be useful if, as an administrator, you do not want them to see or have access to this area. If you choose to hide the account protection area, it will no longer appear on the Windows Security Center home page and its icon will not appear in the navigation bar on the side of the application.
