Ports: Help, I've looked Everywhere....

Hi All,

If anyone can put me out of my misery I’d be truly, truly grateful…

I need to open a port in avast (591) for a program called Filemaker Pro. I’ve set up port forwarding on my router, but I believe I also need to open this port in the free version of Avast. Can anyone tell me how to do this please, I’ve looked everywhere, and can’t find a setting or advice on how to do it.

Thanks for reading

Not really, avast isn’t a firewall and does not block ports.
As far I know, it does not scan the http traffic (if any) on port 591.
Do you use any software firewall?

Thanks Tech,

Avast is the only “anti-virus” type of thing that I have on my machine (apart from Windows Firewall). This was disabled at the time I was trying to access the database on port 591, so I think I can rule that out.

Ok, back to much head scratching then…

Thanks for letting me know.
