There are a few firewalls that are unable to determine what is actually being redirected through the proxy (parent process) and not the avast proxy itself.
My firewall Outpost Firewall Pro can block the parent process before it is redirected through the avast proxy on both my XP Pro and win7 netbook systems.
It might seem complex, but really it isn’t, the image show all the changes required (2) adding the AdFender port and unchecking the Ignore local communication.
