Firewall only allow that

[REDACTED]

Hi!

If I accept when avast firewall asks, it allows the program to reach everything outside. I want to tell avast firewall that allow only to reach the address it asks about. How can I do that?

Thanks.

Anybody else who can read, think, understand my words and it's own? It's offensive that the first answer is from a script that calls me stupid. Really, Avast?!

Insulting someone who was attempting to help you isn't the right way to go about getting help.
When Avast ask if it's safe, you allow the program access through a certain port. If the program need access, you grant it if it doesn't need it you block it.

I'm sorry, I did not want to hurt anybody alive. But that answer seems like an auto reply from a bot that picked one keyword and offered me a FAQ search about it. So, I just did not get any useful information or the intention in that answer to give me one.

My question was about:

Avast asks something and give informations about the request. I want to tell avast that allow only that and exactly that it says about the request.

Because now in that case i allow the app communicate, avast allows the app communicate in all ways. In all ports, to all of the net. But i want to allow only that it offerd me. There are no signs of ports and destinations in the automatically generated firewall rules after an allowance.

So again, I'm sorry if I hurt anybody that can breathe, I did not intend to do that. My question is above again. Is there an answer somewhere?

Thank you!

I use the free version so don't have the Avast Firewall.
Let's see if someone else who does can answer your question.

1. It isn't from a script, but from another avast user just like yourself seeking to help - the Maybe Bot is a forum post count rating - when you have a shed load of posts you might be a bot.

Then you have others who have even more you are Certainly Bot, how else could you rack up that many replies without being a bot - answer, years of helping other avast users.

2. I don't see where anyone called you stupid.

another proof that the last place many dont look for the answer is where most answers are found, the FAQ section

Ok. Thank you. We are over it. I said sorry and I mean it.

Can you answer my question?

Unfortunately the FAQ section doesn't talk about rules or how to create them.

Thank you. Of course. Yes. I'm stupid and rude and lame. Yes I'am. No doubt. You all are right! Perfectly right. So please show this moron the answer. Please!

I dont have it, thats why i gave you the FAQ section so you could search for it if it was there


anyway,i dont use a firewall with outbound protection since i dont install programs i dont trust with internet connection, so i dont have that problem

[bob3160]

I've requested help directly from Avast. Let's see if that helps.
