Hello, there are many many reportings ogf this issue on Avast Forum but I did not find the solution.
I have a Windows 10 PC with Avast Internet Security which shares its internet Connection (Bridge/Hotspot). There is a Ethernet connection between my router and PC, and a wifi connection between my PC and other home devices.
Avast blocks devices to connect. When I disable Avast Antivirus, than other devices connect fine.
I have tried to work with the “System” and “svchost” firewall rules but did not manage to get it working. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi
Using Avast Premier, I personally have not had any issues connecting to shared Wi-Fi. I have tested with both Secureline connection and without.
Hopefully, others can/will comment or shed light on the issue you’re having.
@Dawid2042,
Is your firewall set to private ???
I have tried both network options: private and public. No change.
Did you reboot after making the changes?
Did you also revert to Windows Defender firewall to see if that made a difference after a reboot? You’ll need to disable Avast Firewall to do this, on reboot Windows Defender firewall should automatically activate.
