Missing? instruction to allow cifs though windows firewall #1

While the instruction describe how do allow the ssh connect through windows firewall it does not mention that the cifs connection through the virtual interface must be allowed as well [At least I did not see it]. This is possible by enabling file & printer sharing in windows settings / setting the current connection to private or, and probably best by disabling the firewall for for the virtual adapters as described here: https://superuser.com/questions/1583758/disable-the-windows-10-firewall-for-just-one-network-adapter EDIT: this results in a warning by windows firewall, a better solution might be to make the virtual adapter connections private e.g. using: https://superuser.com/a/1160447

I am wondering what is different about your setup compared to others, as nobody has mentioned this to me before (which surprises me, actually). I just ran the tutorial on a brand-new Windows 11 22H2 laptop with the firewall enabled and it "just worked" for me. I cannot pinpoint exactly why this worked (the loopback adapter is in the Public zone) but it does like it always has in the past for me.

Hm. Maybe you have "Network discovery turned on" for public networks and had not? I checked twice (turning it on and off again) before posting here.... but then let's close this and see if some else runs into the same issue.
