How to allow an app through Bitdefender firewall

In this video, we will show you how to allow an application through Bitdefender firewall. Bitdefender Total Security and Bitdefender Internet Security come with a firewall module and some of its settings can block certain programs from accessing the Internet or the local network.

► The first troubleshooting step is to make sure it is actually the firewall that's causing the issue.
► Bring up Bitdefender from the desktop icon. From the dashboard navigate to the ‘Protection’ section. In the ‘Firewall’ pane go ahead and turn off the firewall. While that's disabled test your app again. If it can connect to the internet while the Bitdefender firewall is disabled you’ll know it’s the firewall. Now you can re-enable it.
► The next step after you’ve discovered it is the firewall that's causing the issue is to open the firewall settings. Under ‘Network Adapters’, you want to set the type of your network adapter to ‘Home/Office’. In this case it’s set to ‘Public’. From the drop-down menu select ‘Home/Office’.
► Now we're going to open the firewall ‘Settings’. Once we're here we'll look for ‘Stealth mode’ and make sure is set to make your device visible inside the network. As we can see it's set to Invisible. In order to change this, set the switch corresponding to your network adapter to 'off'. This should fix most connectivity issues.
► If this isn’t working, go back into the firewall Settings and navigate to ‘Rules’ to check if the app has been blocked incorrectly. In order to change this set the switch to ‘on’. Now test your app again. It should have Internet access.
► If the blocked app does not appear in the list we're going to add a new rule. In the ‘Rules’ tab click ‘Add rule’. For example, to add a rule for Microsoft Edge first click the ‘Browse button’. Then use the directory tree to browse to the location of the executable or application.
► Click ‘OK’ and ‘Save’. Now once that's saved a new rule will appear here and your app should have internet access again.

My software doesnt have a firewall section, does this differ from certain subscriptions? Does this mean Windows Firewall is still my primary Firewall?

Does Bitdefender Firewall protect against DOS/DDOS, Buffer Overflow, OS Fingerprinting, RDP, Direct Exploit based attacks, if not please kindly immediately add this very very important features to the firewall protection ASAP

How to do the same with the cloud-based Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools? The menu options are different/don't exist in the cloud version.

It is literally blocking everything even system updates...

Maybe it's good antivirus but so complicated for ordinary users.
It does block 90% of installed programmes for an update. Even sometimes block Windows update,
In many occasions when I try to open some program or update it, it says "no internet connection" or check internet connection/ firewall/ proxy settings...etc, why???
It should be user-friendly, by call it Bitdefender Total Security it means that mainly purposed for home users but if it says Network Security or Server Security - i do understand that people must know what they do in the settings/ permissions/ access... etc, but not for home users!
Kaspersky does everything without this/any hassle for you!
I had enough to go to settings all the time, especially for any program/ soft/app to change settings/ give access/permissions and in some cases it still does not work. For an example, program "Audials" would like to update, I click update it, but done everything, through all setting - still not able to update through program's build in updater. Another issue, Lenovo update checker, never can update because Bitdefender is blocking it, even all permissions has been given. PLUS MANY MORE ISSUES.
Probably will use it (bitdefender) until licence expire and will go back to KASPERSKY, the best soft in the world, had used it for 20 years never had any issues.
Yes, I had tried many/ probably all fix advices from the Google (many of them linked with bitdefender website) but 90% still unsorted.

Basically is rubbish software unless you are fun of bitdefender group.

why internet explorer is only option for browsing bitdefender. as we all know I.E is now resting in peace. when i try to open BD it redirects me to I.E which is not updated and popup with a notification:- " to use B.D please upgrade to the latest version of I.E". I don't know what to do now i already purchased total security of B.D. though i tried to update I.E to latest version but failed. i need immediate help.

Very not user-friendly interface. I want to block all appliction automaticaly and manuality grant access. I set default behavior at "Settings" tab. It is ok. Then I see at "Applications access" tab a lot of my blocked apps. It is ok. Then I want to grant access to any apps by ONE click to "ALLOW" button, but it imposible, i must:
1. go to "Rules" tab
2. click "Add rule"
3. Very long search application in "Browse".
It takes me 5 minutes per one app instead 0.5 second!!!

[chippy]
