Hello markb, welcome to the Webroot Community!
Yes and no. WSA does not have a feature that shows other devices on the Home LAN, or specifically looks for unauthorized devices, but of course the firewall features of Windows and WSA together WILL block those devices just as they would block access when your computer is connected directly to the internet without the use of a Home LAN.

David, Thanks for the quick reply and the welcome. Does WSA automatically turn on and work with the Windows firewall, or do I have to do that manually?@ wrote:

The WSA firewall will automatically come on, no need to do so manually. In fact, if you were to manually turn it off, then WSA WILL complain: the icon down by the clock wont be green and it will warn you that you may not be protected.
I hope this helps, but if you have any questions or problems, just let us know 🙂
