Avast Firewall Blocks My Game Consoles

system · 2015-03-25T04:03:03.000Z

I have Avast Internet Security 2015.10.2.2215 and I cant seem to get my video game consoles through the firewall. Both my Playstation 4 and Xbox 360 cannot connect to the internet while the firewall is turned on. I have tried port forwarding and adding the IPs of the devices to the ‘friends list’ but the can only connect if the firewall is turned off. Both consoles can have an IP address assigned while they try to connect but neither actually achieve an internet connection. (both consoles are trying to connect via an ethernet cable with one end in the console and the other in my laptop)

Here is an example of the firewall log while my Xbox 360 is trying to connect:
