Title: Avast Free Web Shield for Mac - Won't allow web access behind Pi-hole Ad Blocker
Post by: eaklander on February 04, 2021, 03:43:08 PM

This is a re-post -- in the proper forum -- as it the issue is related to the Mac version of the Free Avast product...

On my home network I'm running a Pi-hole Open Source Ad Blocker on a raspberry pi server. I'm guessing that the Avast Security Web Shield doesn't like this setup, because I'm unable to load any pages now in my Firefox browser.

Am running Mac OS El Capitan (10.11.6), Firefox 78.7.0esr

I tried entering the raspberry pi URL as an exception in the Web Shield preferences, but that didn't fix the issue.

Any suggestions? TIA for your help!
