The company where I work uses Avast Endpoint Protection Suite Plus. The computer I'm using has two ethernet cards. The on-board gig-eth is connected to the company network, and also to the gateway out to the internet. The second gig-eth PCIe card was installed to be used as a completely separate and direct high-speed connection to another computer-like device. I want to be able to ping that device, connect via a proprietary (ssh-like?) connection and basically not be completely blocked from using it without having to completely disable the entire firewall.
(tl;dr): How do I turn off the firewall that comes with avast Endpoint Protection Suite Plus for only one network connection? Everywhere in the settings seems to treat all ethernet traffic as one thing. Also, the Network Profiles lists mac addresses, but it seems those MAC's are the related to the company's network, and not my internal cards. Also, I have all of [192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255] listed under "Friends", but it's not clear what this does, and I still can't ping or make a connection to 192.168.0.anything without completely disabling the firewall.
Thanks,
Rich
