Title: Web Shield blocks all HTTP and HTTPS except for google on all browsers
Post by: REDACTED on September 12, 2018, 08:52:25 AM

As above, something was blocking all HTTP and HTTPS except for google on all browsers, turned off avast it was avast, turned avast back on and web shield off - it is the web shield. Is there a log somewhere for blocked sites from web shield? and how does it block the TCP? how does it block by connection? firewall changes on the fly? or kills connections somehow?
