Avast 7

So there seem to be cases where indeed the traffic is not blocked by comodo under circumstances. Since version 7. And even if the same setting was ok with version 6.

So I would be worried about the firewall. I still doubt it is a leak in the firewall.
The technology behind Web Shield is there since v 4.8 of avast! and I can’t imagine a local proxy that could “bypass” the firewall (HIPS) settings.

If traffic blocked here means net not working then I guess its coz of Avast Webshield as by default it monitors traffic of every processes.

I remember when I was tried Rising FW with Avast 6. I had the prob of net not working. I noticed that either disabled net worked.

I could solve it by

Either excuding Rising processes in Avast

or disabling Avast Webshield or if I remember correctly setting Webshield for browsers only & not all processses.

Indeed, some issues could be solved if you set Web Shield to scan just ‘know browsers processes’.

No, its about traffic that isnt blocked if you choose block.
