My Avast firewall is being a pain in the arse and not allowing certain things to connect to online services like they should. I've made a video displaying the issue. If anyone has any pointers on this, that would be great. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Avast as well, and nothing has changed. It is not having this issue on my other Avast installation, on my other computer.

Never mind, I fixed it. I had to go in and tick "friends" next to my home network (which is set to "private"). What the heck, Avast.
