Mr.Agent:
I don't remember but I don't think it was any of that. It has to do with socket connections. I don't want the app to connect to internet but now I need it to work with some other software and it's not working. I think it's because they talk using sockets which I blocked but can't be sure because the damn Avast has no damn relevant panel to monitor this.
I guess setting up so that it can connect locally or only with specific ports or protocols won't even be possible?
Para-Noid:
Why the workaround? I mean what is this?! If I have to go into all that trouble I might as well trade Avast for some other soft that will work for me and not the other way around.
It sounds like you are using Avast Internet Security. If so, go to the firewall Application Rules and delete any entries for the program you now want to allow access. When you run the program again, AIS Firewall will (depending on how you have it set) either allow the connection or ask for permissions. I have the firewall to alert me when it creates a new firewall rule. You can also modify the packet rules. You could mess with the existing block rule for the program but AIS is very good at setting the proper rules for programs.
