AVG items in Mac OS Firewall's "Allow/Block" list

I use AVG Internet Security for Mac.

I have 3 questions below, regarding which AVG items should appear in the Mac’s built-in Firewall “Allow/Block” list. But first, please consider this background info:

AVG recommends to turn on the built-in Mac OS Firewall here…

…so, I have the Mac OS Firewall turned on, as follows:

Block all incoming connections:
OFF

Automatically allow built-in software to receive incoming connections:
ON

Automatically allow downloaded signed software to receive incoming connections:
ON

Enable stealth mode:
ON

Two AVG items are appearing in the Firewall’s Allow/Block list, depending on which Mac OS I am using. Those AVG items are:

In Mac OS Ventura:

com.avg.hns

  • Firewall has this set to “Allow incoming connections”

com.avg.proxy

  • Firewall has this set to “Block incoming connections”

In Mac OS Sequoia:

com.avg.proxy

  • Firewall has this set to “Allow incoming connections”

(note that com.avg.hns does not appear in the Allow/Block list for some reason on the Mac running Sequoia)

With all of this in mind, I have 3 questions:

  1. Should any AVG items be appearing in the Allow/Block list at all?

  2. If AVG items should appear, which ones? And, should they be set to “Allow” or “Block”?

  3. Does it matter if com.avg.hns is missing from the Allow/Block list in Sequoia’s Firewall?

Thanks in advance for any advice that might be provided.
