Hi, the mac firewall asks to give “com.avast.hns” permission for incoming connections. But I cannot find what it is for?

Hi, com.avast.hns is a background process for Wi-Fi Inspector. HNS means Home Network Security, it's the old name of the component.

It should be added to the firewall whitelist during installation.
