    Windows 10 Home (1809) Set Network From Public To Private ?


    Can anyone please give me a rundown on how to set my USB data card connection from public to private ?

    I know how to do it on Windows 10 Pro, but I can't figure out how to do it on Windows 10 Home Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.437).

    :)

    Set Network Location to Private or Public in Windows 10  


    Hi Brink and thank you for the welcome Windows 10 Home (1809) Set Network From Public To Private ? :)

    I tried what you suggested but when doing this, i noticed that whenever i am connected to my VPN, the Windows network shows up as "unidentified network" instead of network 1,2,3 or whatever. So when i went into regedit and looked for networks, i found some but none called unidentified.
    There was one network with the value 0 so i changed it to 1 (private) but after checking, my VPN connection still shows as public.

    I am not really sure why it says unidentified network in Windows when i am connected to the VPN but it seems that this is the cause for the problem. If i could only find the VPN network in the list of networks in regedit, i think i would be able to change the value to 1.

    Hmm..not sure how to proceed with this. Any ideas?
