Can't access yahoo, URL White list not working

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I had timeout problems while connecting to my yahoo email.
After researching, I noticed that if I disable the Avast firewall, I have no problem.
So I added yahoo in the url whitelist (settings > general > exclusions > URLs), but it’s not working.
I also tried to whitelist in settings > components > webshield > customize > exclusions > URLs, also without any luck.

I’ve tried all the different address combinations, www, http, https, all https + http, only http, only https, with * at the end, with /* at the end, but all without luck.
It seems that the only way for me to access yahoo email is to disable the firewall. Any suggestions?

Here the list of domains I tried to whitelist (I also tried the same combination with /* at the end):

https://yahoo.com*
http://yahoo.com*
https://www.yahoo.com*
http://www.yahoo.com*
https://mail.yahoo.com*
http://mail.yahoo.com*
https://login.yahoo.com*
http://login.yahoo.com*
https://edit.yahoo.com*
http://edit.yahoo.com*

Is your avast firewall network profile in puplic or private mode?

Does it work if you change?
