There´s something what I don´t undertsand. What means: Pass local internet traffic ?
Local comunication is made
inside of your own computer, from one 'part' to another, one program to another.
So, if you use a local proxy, for instance, an annonimizer application, the traffic is redirected to this application and in order to scan it you must allow the local traffic and then we have: Internet > local proxy in your computer (127.0.0.1) > avast.
Did I make myself clear and simple?
