vmnet-natd on BigSur popup

Every now and then when i start VMWare Fusion on  Mac I get this popup:

 It looks like there is really only one way to stop this, and its to click "Allow" which adds it to firewall, "Allow all connections"

 

Clicking Deny, in my case doesn't add it at all.. And as far as i am aware its related to Fusion version 12.2.3, and it pops up every time you restart Mac, unless you allow..

 

Apart for this annoyance, there doesn't seem to be anything that i do that interferes with this when cicking Deny....  Is there a reason why it doesn't add to firewall list as "blocked"  I guess that would be one work around... Add it, then change status.. but i was hoping there be a better way than just to allow..

Confirmed, allow a 2nd time, adds a 2nd entry to MacOS Firewall and so on... etc. thus you can end up with multiple entries of this...
