Windows defender firewall has blocked some features of vlc

Postby Nilian » 03 Jan 2024 15:59

Hello About 3 week ago I've installed vlc on my windows 10 pc , and a today i got this pop-up from windows defender firewall "Windows defender firewall has blocked some features of vlc" asking me to give it access to my network , I dint use any of the meta/network features so its very weird for me to get this message is it safe/normal to get it without using any of the features ?
Thank for all the helpers.
