Hi Sido :slight_smile:

Strange, if U have the global Allow Loopback rule checked then u shouldnt be prompted for the localhost rules if memory serves me right, unticking the Allow Loopback is recommended at the outpost forum by the guru’s there (never really been sure why) & thats the setup i have.

It can be annoying allowing or creating rules for these localhost connections, but luckily Avast makers limited it to the one port, so when a prompt to allow appears on mine, i just leave everything in the custom rule & only tick Allow & call the rule Appsname Avast.

It sure is a great firewall, but i still find it a bit buggy sometimes (ie the constant freezing of firefox due to a my address (127.0.0.1) attack, this can be stopped by unticking My address attacks in the attack detection’splugin (advanced tab\Edit list at top of advanced tab)

As for Ur custom rule, it might be better to post about it here along with any outpost probs U have :slight_smile:
