It can be tweaked to handle localhost traffic and outbound protection as well - so this is not a problem with the underlining technology. Windows firewall was originally intended for inbound protection only, and as such works great. This is a surprise for Comodo, but rather expected for Windows Firewall, where simplicity was always important. Hence some firewalls choose to ignore local traffic and others filter it like any other connection. Localhost communication is not a network traffic per se - no packets are leaving your PC - so some developers prefer the simple user experience and others like the complete protection. 10:01:10.0087 7020 avast Firewall (465a17095eb3b9e101429b669f495d01) C:Program FilesAVAST SoftwareAvastafwServ.exe. We can confirm this - this is indeed happening with avast, and possibly with other proxy like apps - like proxies for removing adds, parental control apps and such.
