Firewall blocks connection to remote host [WSL in VS Code]

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

  • Local OS Version: Windows 10, version 1903
  • Avast V. 19.7.2388 (build 19.7.4674.524)
  • UI Version: 1.0.402

Right after upgrading Windows to 1903, the firewall is blocking my remote WSL connection in VS code. The error is:

Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 127.0.0.1:51072

Before, the Windows upgrade, it was working fine…

When I disable the firewall it works. But I dont know how to fix this without disabling the firewall.

The firewall is in public mode and setting it to private does nothing.

I tried the solutions from these threats without success also:

In the firewall logs, it seems that svchost.exe is related, but checking the application rules, all connections are allowed.

Any help here?

Here is the log from VS Code also.

You need allow the node.js embedded in WSL to pass through the firewall.
