How can I restrict in or out traffic in Avast 8.0.1497 IS firewall? I do not need to restrict any application or websites, just control in and out network traffic. Thanx for any help in advance.
It looks like there is no way how to do it.
A firewall is not a traffic shaper or QoS. You could try NetLimiter or comparable program to shape traffic.
Thanx for your reply. You mean Avast firewall cannot do this,right? I remember old days when McAfee firewall was able to do just that. I was able to restrict all traffic going in or out. Well in these days, I have to find solution how to do it in any firewall or some other appl. Thanx again
…" firewall is a software or hardware-based network security system that controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic by analyzing the data packets and determining whether they should be allowed through or not, based on applied rule set. Firewalls can be defined in many ways according to your level of understanding. A firewall establishes a barrier between a trusted, secure internal network and another network (e.g., the Internet) that is not assumed to be secure and trusted."
So, where in Avast can I enter ANY rule to restrict in or out traffic going thru firewall? NOT application restriction! It looks like Avast FIREWALL is not really firewall after all.
