How do I enable UDP ports in AVAST Home?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Can someone explain to me how to enable UDP ports using Avast Home Edition? I have looked through all the menus and even the help section, but no joy.

I am using a file sharing application, which requires a particular UDP port to be open for ‘Decentralised tracking’ Any ideas???

Please advise. Thank you, in advance! :frowning:

If it helps…

avast isn’t a firewall it doesn’t enable or block ports.

What is your P2P application, is it supported by avast ?
See the list in the P2P Shield

Thanks for your reply!

I am using Azureus 2.4.0.2

This does not appear in the list (is there a way to add it?)

(downloading ok now, but need to make some changes to increace download speed).

Thanks once again :slight_smile:

Right now, not. It uses a different technology approach on the web traffic and avast can’t scan it.
Maybe Azureus allow to add ashQuick.exe as an external scanner (when the file finishes its download).

There are many forum members using Azureus without problem, the only thing to watch out for is this ‘Internet Connection Timeout’ warning that isn’t wjat it may seem.

Thank you for all your help.

(compared to mcafee, norton, inoculate, panda etc, which i have all tried, avast has been by far the best AV i have come across, beats all other hands down so far…)

We follow the same way (I just never tested inoculate…) :wink:
