Untrusted Network

Hello Brian. 
Thank you for contacting AVG Support Community. 
We will certainly check and help you. 
Every time you connect to a new network, Enhanced Firewall detects if the network is private or public, and automatically applies the relevant settings below:

Private networks (such as your home or work network) require a lower level of security, and are automatically marked as trusted. Each time you connect to a trusted network, Enhanced Firewall permits all communication within the network and applies a lower level of security to enable better connectivity.

Public networks (such as in a cafe or airport) present a greater security risk, and are automatically marked as untrusted. Each time you connect to an untrusted network, Enhanced Firewall blocks all incoming communication and applies a higher level of security to ensure your privacy and safety.
If necessary, you can manually specify that an individual network is either trusted or untrusted by following the steps below:

1. Open AVG AntiVirus and click the Web & Email tile on the main application screen.
2. Click Open above Enhanced Firewall.
3. Select the Networks tab.
4. Click Show settings next to the relevant network, then choose one of the following options:
       I trust this network: The recommended option for a private network. When you select this option, the network is marked as a Trusted network.

     I don't trust this network: The recommended option for a public network. When you select this option, the network is marked as an Untrusted network

Each time you connect to this network, Enhanced Firewall applies the appropriate settings according to your preferences.
If you have any other queries, please feel free to contact us back, we are here to help you. 
Thank you.
