Windows Central Question

Im trying to use visual studio 2015 community. Now it says that I should enable developer setting to run apps from outside of the store. When I do that the green bar from the right comes in asking me if I want to share with other computers in the network (photos files etc). Now the next time that happens after that is the notification message that my firewall is switched off :( And whats worst I can't see that in the notification menus. When I re-switch the developer setting the situation doesnt repeat. Does that mean my system is most likely compromised? What does the developer setting actually do?
