Hi again,

While reading some of the numerous posts about the web proxy I found a .ini file section which might do the trick :

[WebScanner]
IgnoreProcess=myprog.exe

I added my bridge program in this section, stopped / restarted the web shield, still no luck, my app is still connected to the port 12080 and even if the traffic might not be filtered the unconventional format is still blocked …

Just to be sure when you change avast4.ini, is it enough to stop and restart the service or do you need to do something else, Any solution not involving a reboot would be nice :wink:

Another solution might be to provide a transparent bridge on another port something like :

Port 80 redirected to 12080 and filtered and piped to outside 80 and listen on 12880 to provide a direct bridge to outside 80.

My app could use this port (12880) and have no issues.

Thanks again for any answers.
