I fumbled around Windows 10 and found that it is already on PUBLIC, and I don't know how relevant to security the following info is but I also found this:
ON: Public
ON: Use random hardware address
ON: Allow VPN over metered networks
ON: Allow VPN while roaming
I still get messages from Norton that I am on an unsecure network. Do I just ignore what Norton is saying as I am on PUBLIC? They also tell me in the same popup window that for $25.00 I can get a secure network connection from Norton. Is this something that I really need from them or is there another way to be secure?
I am more familiar with my desktop Windows 7 Pro than I am with Windows 10, so using the laptop on unsecure wifi systems is new to me and I have very little understanding of what most of the terminology means. Thank you
