How do I configure AVG with Connectify?

There have been numerous users reporting firewall issues with AVG. Disabling AVG seems to be one solution. Other users have said disabling the firewall portion of AVG worked, and a handful of users reported that adding the IP address of the client device, once connected to the hotspot, worked for them as well. Below are the steps they took:

  1. In Connectify Hotspot, click Clients and select your device. In its details, click the copy button next to IP address (Copy IP address).
  2. Open AVG > Firewall > Setting > Expert mode > Advanced Settings... and tick "Allow any traffic from/to virtual machines supported by the firewall".
  3. Now in "Defined Network", add the above IP to Local Networks, Local IP address, IP addresses whitelist, and Active Local IP addresses.

These AVG steps come from users of an older version of AVG, and the menus in your version of AVG may be named differently. For general advice on getting security software to work with Connectify Hotspot, see How do I configure my firewall to work with Connectify Hotspot?
