Looking to boost your work PC security. You found this setting (referenced in image). Why would you want to turn it off? What actions will be blocked? Let me know!

Apologies for the confusion. You're referring to activating (disabling) this feature on the public network, not the internal domain. Please let me know if you need further clarification.
