I am new to ExpressVPN, and I just realized that very time I reconnect to it, it changes the type of my network connection back to public every time. From private to public. This makes my firewall rules useless, as it's set up to allow only private-type connections. Does anyone know how to fix this? The only thing I know to do is to change the network type of every unidentified network to private, using secpol.msc, but I don't like using blanket rules like that.

Would this work?

I don't think so. That would do nothing to change the tap type, just the visibility. As I understand it, this would be useful is you wanted to have two or more adapters named the same thing. Thank you though. I appreciate it.
