Sonos being blocked

Hi,
This version of AVG (19.8.3108 (build 19.8.4257.552)  has blocked my Sonos and I cannot run the application unless I turn off Enhanced Firewall. I have tried putting the sonos executable in as an exception and enabled all the system rules but the Sonos executable will only find the Sonos system if I turn off the Enhanced Firewall. Thanks

Hi Neil,

I appreciate your efforts in finding the root cause of the issue.

I suggest you to refer the below article to allow the specific application and check if you're able to run the file.

Keep us posted.

Tried that added Sonos.exe and the sonos link but makes no difference. It also now blocks my NAS drive from being available (does not map). The only thing I can seem to do is disable enhanced firewall then all is good!

Neil, let us change the network profile and check the status.
Refer this article and follow the steps as mentioned under "Define Network profiles" to change the profile to "private".
Once done with that, check the status with Sonos.exe and NAS drive.
Keep us posted.

Hi, Network profiles all set to private but still no Sonos connectivity. NAS seems OK now but I suspect if I reboot I will lose access again.

Neil, we are glad that you don't have any issues with the NAS after configuring the network profiles.

However, you still can't connect the Sonos.

So, we have offered our additional support through email. Please check for the email and connect back to us as soon as possible.
