New Update does not work with Firewall settings

Submitted by chemist on #1

Before the recent update on the server side i had no issues connecting to the server (after setting up the firewall accordingly).

But after todays update i can no longer connect to my server if i don't disable the Firewall completely.

I have the Windows app for the Server side running 4.7.8.0 and the Client running 5.8.5 / 5.8.7

Nothing changed in the virtualhere client or server about networking. 

Are you running virtualhere server in a different directory? 

I know Windows defender/firewall tracks exactly what directory a network program like virtualhere runs from. If thats changes then usually it pops up a request similar to "Allow access to Network" . If that is ignored or doesnt popup it will block it. Check Control Panel->System And Security -> Windows Defender Firewall -> Allowed Applications. Scroll down to vhusbdwin64.exe and check its the correct path (and remove any old entries with invalid paths). It needs access to UDP 5353 and TCP 7575
