What are pros and cons of selecting Home or Work or Public for eddie network interface

Recommended Posts

For some reason, eddie repeatedly creates new network interfaces on my systems...on one computer the count now is over 30...

And each time it creates a new interface, I get the popup asking wo set it to "Home", "Work" or "Public"

What type of network ID is suggested for running p2p file sharing apps over VPN using eddie?

I've heard that before and it shouldn't do that. Close Eddie, reopen and try a connection, then provide a system report.

It doesn't really matter. That option is only there to tell Windows whether it should enable Windows sharing options (i.e., SMB, like files, printers and the like) for that network. But there are no devices that will be able to reach you, anyway, unless you explicitly forwarded any remote port to local port 445, so whether it's Home, Work or Public, it's all the same. Public will disable it altogether and is still the safer choice – you can't be attacked through something that is not there.
