[2283] Bug in Firewall (No popups when connecting to different networks)

Consumer Products Public Beta Avast Antivirus Beta
1

When connecting to another network, the Firewall doesn’t give me the popup any more to decide between Private and Public.

Looking at the Firewall settings, it’s making them public by default. See Screenshot - that’s default.

Hi Alikhan,
this type of profiles (with (Adapter)) are only used when we failed to detect any “network” on it - such as at least a gateway. Not sure if in this case we want to show the popup. Let me verify that with the team.

Are you really connected to a live wifi?

thanks.

Hi,

I am really connected to a live wifi.

I’ve just created a video showing the issue : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtyv1SshBqM

The issue is sometimes it is showing (with (Adapter)) and going to public mode and sometimes as shown in the video showing the actual network name and still going to public mode.

I am not having this issue on the stable version.

Hi Alikhan.

What I can see on the video, It can be Issue.

Please can you provide to us content of the log folder and FW folder?

“c:\Users\All Users\AVAST Software\Avast\log”

“c:\Users\All Users\AVAST Software\Avast\fw”

It can give to us better picture what’s going on.

Thank you

The forum isn’t allowing me to send zip/rar files of the two folders.

Shall I upload it to a file sharing site and send the link or what?

Thanks, I forgot about that.

I’ve sent both folders into the incoming folder via FTP named “Alikhan log” and “Alikhan fw”.
