Hi All,
Info:
Avast Premium Security 22.7.6024 (build 22.7.7383.528
UI version 1.0.718
***************
I have been looking at the Application Rules Settings,
and trying to work out the logic of why they are laid out like they are.
As an example:
If the Default Rule is set to Allow Direction In/Out
Then why give the option of: Internet Out (Allow) Internet In (Allow)?
Also, you see only internet out (Allow) but when you look at the default rule
It lists In/Out.
I find this most confusion! Any explanation would be grateful.
Please see screenshot for clarification.
Thank You.

Hi,

Same here.
Also, OP, are you finding that rule changes do not stay?
If I click the slider to disable the default rule at the bottom, it comes back on later.

If you change the default rule action to block - it would work like you want, only traffic specified by the rules above it will be allowed.
