Hi,
AVG Internet Security does not allow my VPN to open ports, when AVG is disabled port forwarding works, when AVG is active port forwarding is blocked.
Windows 10 PC, AVG 23.9.3302 (build 23.9.8494.796), my VPN is PrivateVPN.
Thanks in advance
Alberto

AVG Antivirus:
AVG Antivirus is a specific antivirus software product developed by AVG Technologies (now part of Avast).
It falls under the category of commercial antivirus software.
AVG Antivirus is designed to protect your computer from various forms of malware, including viruses, Trojans, spyware, and adware.
It offers features such as real-time scanning, automatic updates, email scanning, and web protection.
AVG Antivirus is typically installed as the primary antivirus solution on a computer.
Third-Party Antivirus:
"Third-party antivirus" is a broader term that encompasses antivirus software developed by companies other than the one that produced the operating system (e.g., Microsoft's Windows Defender is not a third-party antivirus on Windows).
Third-party antivirus includes a wide range of antivirus solutions from different vendors, such as Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, and many others.
These third-party antivirus programs serve the same general purpose as AVG Antivirus: to protect your computer from malware.
Users can choose from various third-party antivirus options based on their preferences and needs.
