Title: Allow a set of ports through the firewall
Post by: Mark709 on February 22, 2018, 06:09:00 PM

Hello all,

I have looked but cannot find what i need.

I have the need to allow a set of ports through the avast firewall. I can do this with individual ports, but i need to do it for ports *000-*500  however the - doesnt work. I really dont want to enter 500 entries. Can anyone help with how id do this?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi,

Yeah i've tried that. only thing i find is:

Specify the ports you authorize the application or process to communicate with (for incoming or outgoing communication depending on the defined access restrictions):

Type specific port numbers into the text box. For multiple ports, separate each port number with a comma.

Select All from the drop-down menu to authorize communication with all ports.

Select a predefined port number from the drop-down menu.

This is semi useful, but doesnt tell me how to add a group of ports. I don't want to authorize all ports.

Thanks for the reply
