avast premier wont allow my game console to connect
« on: November 19, 2018, 12:31:00 AM »
every time i try to connect my ps3 console via ethernet, avast blocks it. but when i disable the firewall component of avast, suddenly i'm able to connect to the internet via ethernet. how do i fix this? this is getting really annoying. i don't wanna have to permanently disable the firewall of avast. - i'd rather leave avast altogether and find another protection software before that happens.

edit: i'm able to obtain an ip address but it wont connect to the internet because of avast's firewall.

Whilst I don't use the avast firewall. 
What setting/location do you have the firewall Private or Public ?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

I've tried putting it on private and public. but it was initially on public because i felt like public option somehow gave it more security. thanks 4 trying to help me.
