How to set up firewall for anti-theft ?

Hello everyone, I started using Avast products on my Android phone very recently and I love them :wink:
However, I am having truble setting up firewall correctly to only let anti-theft packets/data from web interface through EDGE/3G. The reason is that I do not have any special data plan so I donā€™t want any other traffic through.

I tried that: Iā€™ve set firewall to whitelist mode, enabled WiFi for all apps and checked 3G and EDGE boxes by Avast app and anti theft app (disguised name) with no luck.
When I disable firwall all together/allow all traffic it works fine.

I hope someone has an answer/link for solution, because it would really be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I just noticed itā€™s sometimes ā€œrandomā€, for example a minute earlier I was having firewall set up as a described in first post, I could turn on the siren, but turn off signal got timed out.

Iā€™m pretty sure for avast! Mobile Securityā€™s firewall to work, your phone, and application has to be rooted. Please confirm if you have the rooted version, or if your phone/tablet is rooted.

Oh yes, forgot to say that Iā€™m fully rooted.

The firewall is working correctly, the problem is that itā€™s not letting anti theft traffic through.
It would be a bit easier if someone has information how phone gets information from web interface, if phone requests the data, on which port, to which IP etc.

Thanks !

What things from anti theft are not getting through? Do you mean like remote commands?

Yes, SMS commands work, but remote commands are hit and miss. (Mostly doesnā€™t work)

It may be an IP port issue. Iā€™m not very knowledgeable on this, but this is my best guess. Try and contact avast directly.
