Yup, no firewall in Avast Free. 

Avast Firewall is available only in paid Internet Security and higher.

If you are running more than one antivirus, or failed to fully uninstall the old one, odd glitches like the one you have can pop up:  https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=211973.0 (https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=211973.0)

In case you need to fully uninstall old a/v:  https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/11/#artTitle (https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/11/#artTitle)
