I have had a search of the forums, but I cant seem to fin d the answer to this..
Using Avast! free edition, I have hyper-v running on my Windows 8 machine with 2 vms running web services - the Avast firewall is blocking traffic to and from these VMs - where would I configure the exception, and how?
many thanks
Jimmy

Avast free does not have a firewall ;)
-
Ah, it would be the free trial I am in, apologies for the confusion..
Same question though :P
-
do you get a popup message? .... what does it say?
-
No, no pop up message, all i know is, I stop the avast firewall, my VMs can talk to the internet again. I start the firewall, they get cut off...
-
Bump, any ideas?
-
Go to the settings for the firewall and allow them there.

"Go to the settings for the firewall and allow them there." - Could you be please more specific? I need to know, what exactly to change there in order my Hyper-V VM to have the internet traffic, as my host machine does. Thank you in advance.

Setting up Firewall Application Rules in Avast Antivirus
https://support.avast.com/en-eu/article/Antivirus-Firewall-Application-Rules
=================================================================
NOTE:The Network profiles control the settings which determine how strictly Firewall protects your PC.
Private: a lower level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a trusted network such as your home or work network.
This profile enables better connectivity, and permits all communication within the network.
Public: a higher level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a public network such as in a cafe or airport.
Because public networks present greater security risks, no incoming communication is permitted when this profile is set.
=================================================================

Ок, thank you.

I have now allowed everything under Virtual Machine Connection, but still, if the Avast Firewall is on, then no Browser can work in the VM. Once I disable the Avast Firewall, then it works just fine. Please, see the screenshot and tell me, if there is something to be changed. Thank you in advance.

I have resolved the issue now. To answer your question from the last post, I have the Private Network setting under Network Connection.
The Application Rule for the Virtual Machine Connection was the proper step, but it came out (after playing a lot around) that in order to take effect, I have to Turn Off / Turn On Avast firewall once. I am not sure if this is supposed to be this way, if yes, then it could be a good addition to the article, if it isn't, then you could raise this to the respective team internally.
Thank you for your assistance.
