Sorry is this has been covered elsewhere but my search didn't find ant answers.

I have Netguard total on 3 machine on a home network. If I use the Netguard firewall NO machine can see the home network or file/ printer share, although they can all connect thought the wireless router to the internet

This is not a major problem as I can disable the Netguard firewall and use Windows firewall instead. Then all machines can see each other , tranfer files and use the networked printer.

There must be somewhere within Netguard options to allow file and printer sharing, but I'm yet to find it.

I think Netguard is excellent for a freebie, but I would be very disappointed if I had, had to pay for it and then couldn't use the firewall.
