Recent changes in the Enhanced Firewall Rules

Hello Hari,
Thank you for your response and the above procedure you gave is only applicable for "Application Rules" already in the Enhanced Firewall list of AVG Internet Security.
If you need to add a new "program or application, i.e. XYZ App" that is currently not in the Enhanced Firewall "Application Rules" list, then you cannot add this new "program or application, i.e. XYZ App".
The only way now is to manually launch the new "program or application, i.e. XYZ App" and have it connect to the internet so that AVG Internet Security will automatically add the new "program or application, i.e. XYZ App" to its Enhanced Firewall "Application Rules" list.
Anyway, I separately send my feedback to your developer directly.

Best Regards,
JGC

Hello Jack,

Thank you for your response and the above procedure you gave is only applicable for "Application Rules" already in the Enhanced Firewall list of AVG Internet Security.

The old GUI Interface will allow this and has a better summary of application rules per company category that is a far better way of viewing the status of all firewall application rules.

Anyway, I already sent a separate feedback to your developer directly.

Hey Moses,

My name is Jack with AVG Senior Support.

The application's rules cannot be added manually but can be modified.

Below you can find out more information regarding our Enhanced Firewall Application Rules:

https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlname=AVG-Antivirus-Enhanced-Firewall-Application-Rules

Also, you can decide how should Firewall treat new apps.
(Smart Mode - you believe us, Ask - wants to decide by yourself, Block and Allow).

If you should need anything else, please let me know.

With the recent changes in AVG Internet Security Version 21.10.3213 (build 21.10.6772.706), the workflow in managing the Enhanced Firewall Application Rules is very bad and you cannot even manually add a new application rule for a new program/application. The old summary of application rules per company category is a far better way of viewing the status of all firewall application rules. It will be best to make it the same as before.

Hi,
I'd like to report the same issue with AVG Enhanced Firewall. It is imposible to add any new "program or application'' to AVG Firewall. Please fix this asap.
Thanks,
Moses
