    firewall rule to distinguish adapter type?


    Is there a way for a Windows 10 firewall rule to determine what network adapter is in use? Can it differentiate between Wi-Fi, TAP, Ethernet, etc.?


    Poking around Windows Firewall for the first time, I don't see any settings related to network adapter, but I wonder if the "local IP address" settings could be useful. Would the different adapters show up as different local IP addresses, in some way that is consistent enough to make a rule out of it?

    cannot connect to internet after upgrading to windows 10

    I had a similar issue and worked out it was Bitdefender firewall settings. Check your firewall settings and set a rule to allow your adapters access.

    Windows 10 wont connect to internet

    I worked out it was my firewall causing the issue. I use Bitdefender and the update for windows 10 blocked the network adapters. Setup a rule to allow the firewall access.
