having the same issues…

The connection has timed out

The server at adverts.local is taking too long to respond.

using IIS

in my host file i have 127.0.0.1 adverts.local

if i disable the firewall component it works no problemo… but with it active it times out like 90% of the time… some times it works sometimes it doesnt… its infuriating. also “disable permanently” = till next restart in avast land it seems since i did a restart ad voila it started the firewall again

ive done the settings → troubleshooting → web → redirect stuff as per my screenshot… still doesnt bloody work. when the time comes to upgrade my licence i dont think i’ll be doing so

windows 8.1
avast 2014.9.0.2013
