FS Protection PC releases
Answers

Hello,
Sorry for bothering you with my comment. Lately, I've started noticing some things that I can't connect to fs protection, but there's nothing else to connect with. I also received 25.11 beta 1 silently like about 13 hours before the announcement, and everything was fine (as I think) - I used the system for about ten hours and turned it off. Then turning it on like "ten hours" later and immediately ran into a strange VPN glitch. I tried to look at some things and that's how I found out I'd received a silent upgrade many hours earlier. I don’t remember such oddities before, but since that moment - for how many days now - something like that with relative frequency has been happening.
The point is this: I can't repeat or understand the steps to achieve these effects specifically. I also can't figure out if "regular" things and VPN things are somehow related.
as a very random thought - I have a feeling that this is somehow related to getting a reputation (or using a reputation cache). Or recent BP addon updates. Were there any changes in these areas that could have affected any of the following and therefore been a problem:
- I do use Family Protection with strict profile; some 'unknown/unrated/uncategorized' pages (but kind of 'specific' ones) are really long to be loaded and opened (when are switched to be 'available' to open withing its current design of unknown reputations). But even then can be different errors within browser (generic errors, but not always the same ones) with inability to load page or just broken layout in website. However, I can open these websites during 'trouble' time with another browser (without addon or even with addon) and all is fine. This is reoccurring state for some certain examples and I do able to repeat it (basically); also, this is the oldest strange thing of 'recent' ones.
- with VPN - I've had random troubles, timeouts and other things; two times like: says connected, but weren't active. Like no network there at all. Randomly or not while I was running fsdiag, the situation seems to have been sorted both times.
- with VPN - much more random difficulties including some DNS generic errors in browser or strange impact like not loading only 'certain' pages while generally working good everywhere.
I just do not know what to report exactly.. so.. I did not report anything, but decided to mention it here. However, maybe if I will be able to gather a bit of clarity about producing them - I will report it via normal channels.
Thanks!

If you are having strange network related problems, try going into Settings / Device Protection and turn off "Use firewall sensor" option. It does not have immediate impact, best option would be to reboot after changing this setting, but usually waiting about 5 minutes should make it effective. We have had some customers with network issues that have been resolved by this setting and it's worth trying first to eliminate that as a cause.
