Cannot Unblock a Program. . . please help!
« on: December 24, 2018, 04:36:08 AM »
Hi all,
I'm using Avast Internet Security 2018 on Windows 10. I am trying to unblock two programs that allow streaming of movies from my PC to my iPad. When I turn off all shields, they work fine. When on, I cannot connect. I tried whitelisting (exclusion in settings) and tried, but not sure they are open in the firewall. It seems like even when I select all of the orange tick marks to free up the program, it often stills says blocked. I'm pulling my hair out of my head.

Is there something I'm missing? Its clearly Avast, I'm just not sure what else to try.
Thanks in advance!!
