Hello,
When browsing through the firewall rules on my win11 machine, I noticed something odd.
When I've marked the network I'm connected to as "Private", Tixati blocks incoming UDP and TCP traffic.
If I mark it "Public", Tixati allows incoming traffic.
I keep thinking this is the wrong way round, but cannot fully reason it.
Can someone enlighten me please?
Thankyou.

Tixati doesn't “block” anything. System firewall — as it should — interferes with it. It is possible that network sockets that have been created before changing the settings of the firewall are disregarded by the system, or something like that. Try restarting the program after changing the settings.
I think you should decide what you rally want. Windows does not designate connections (interfaces) as home/work or public, it stores that for each different local network you happen to be on (based on gateway MAC address and other identification).
