How to show 'Open Firewall' in Status
« on: July 26, 2023, 01:59:04 PM »
In Avast Free's Status tab with Firewall installed, at first it showed 'Open Firewall'. After a while, it changed to 'Run Smart Scan'. Previously, I can restore it by unignoring Firewall in Notifications-Ignored Issues. But now there is nothing in Ignored Issues. Even after finishing a Smart Scan, the 'Open Firewall' didn't return.

How do I bring back 'Open Firewall' page in Status tab?

A picture is worth a thousand words, attach a screenshot...

Whilst it would be impossible to show it (since you say it is gone), it would be possible to show where it used to be and what has replaced.

Never mind. The 'Open Firewall' in Status page will come back sometimes. Since there is no setting for it, there is nothing we can do.
