What are WFP API equivalent for -- NET_FW_PROFILE2_DOMAIN, NET_FW_PROFILE2_PRIVATE, NET_FW_PROFILE2_PUBLIC, NET_FW_PROFILE2_ALL ???

Hi All,
I'm trying to find equivalent APIs for WFP for the above profiles being set or queried . Basically check and enable ( from user mode ).

Thanks,
Prokash

For example,
INetFwPolicy2::get_FirewallEnabled
INetFwPolicy2::put_FirewallEnabled

Thanks much, appreciate it.

Question:: This will work on a FW App I'm creating purely using WFP API ( i.e Fwpm*(...) ) ??

Basically being new to it ( in user mode WFP APIs), the Api you mentioned is from netfw.h and I assume it's okay to use them !!. As I understand, ('m sure not clear yet) between Defender firewall vs. BFE programming). It the methods works for Win7 and later, then I will use the mentioned APIs by you.

Any link, doc detailing the differences if any between Defender firewall and WFP API ??

Thanks,

I'm not sure about what you're trying to do exactly

I tested those interfaces on Windows 10, but not with Fwpm* APIs...
