Hi, i have a problem with sftp connections (using WinScp or Filezilla) to my company servers whenever i connect to company network using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client v4.5.01044 (VPN client). I can usually connect in, but receiving frequent timeout errors whenever i try to browse the ftp server or download files. After turning off each Avast shield i discovered the problem lies with webshield, however even if i disable every function in webshield settings and put both WinScp and Cisco VPN client to exclude list, the problem still persists. If i disable webshield completely, the problem is gone and everything works perfectly.
I am using Avast Internet Security v18.5.2342 (build 18.5.3931.0) and Windows 10.
Any advice? If i do not resolve this problem i would have to switch back to ESET (where there is no conflict), which would be a shame.
