Title: 2 Questions on the Firewall included in Avast Free
Post by: nicolastr on November 16, 2021, 08:19:18 AM

Hi,

Thanks for including the Firewall in Avast Free!

I've tried it, it's great but I've got 2 questions:

1) How to manually add softwares in the Firewall rules, this option doesn't seem to exist, I've got to wait for a program to require access to the internet to apply a rule.

2) If I need to reinstall Avast on the same machine, I'd like to be able to export Firewall rules, is there a option to do so?

Thank you for your help.

Lastr

Hi, you can backup/restore your settings.
