Sophos Firewall blocking debugging on VS 2013

zaqwsx1234

Hi again,

We are having an issue with the firewall on our Developers machine. I just pushed sophos out to them and whenever they try to debug, they get an error. The firewall log doesn't say much. We found this article and it suggests unistalling and reinstalling the firewall.

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/56ef23f8-5906-448e-b967-4da3bd2f981d/x64-unrecognized-error-occoured-in-the-windows-web-services-framework-vs-2013?forum=vsdebug

I am not sure this would work as they did have admin rights before Sophos was installed.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

    Ok I know this is a very old thread but I had been trying to figure out what the issue was for the last year. I was stuck on Windows 7 for my development machine. Because on Windows 8 and above I was not able to Debug due to this issue. Today was the day where we figured out the problem, with an unrelated product that was having similar issues. The solution was to unblock IPV6 traffic by default. Configure Firewall --> Primary Location -> Configure --> Global Rules --> now uncheck the checkbox at the top that Blocks all IPv6 traffic.

    I experienced this exact issue recently.  DevInDreams' solution does work; however, I am curious if Sophos can provide a way within the firewall policy to block all IPv6 traffic OTHER than loopback (::1).  It seems custom rules only allow you to specify IPv4 addresses.  Any suggestions?
