I wouldn't be surprised at anything they do, but if I look it up (such as on the link below), I get the kind of thing that I *do* expect. https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/preventing-smb-traffic-from-lateral-connections-and-entering-or-leaving-the-network-c0541db7-2244-0dce-18fd-14a3ddeb282a "Guest/Public (untrusted) networks Name: Block outbound Guest/Public SMB 445 Description: Blocks all outbound SMB TCP 445 traffic when on an untrusted network Action: Block the connection..." "Private/Domain (trusted) networks Name: Allow outbound Domain/Private SMB 445 Description: Allows outbound SMB TCP 445 traffic to only DCs and file servers when on a trusted network Action: Allow the connection if it is secure..." Which versions of Windows have you discovered have that backwards? While I could understand some description of private meaning keeping things private, and public as making things public (which I can only ever remember seeing as FTP fileshare descriptions). Everything I've seen has always used private networking for your own space that is secure and can be trusted, whereas being in public is risky and untrusted. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
