TF2 Firewall issue?

[Stardust ★]

Has anyone gotten a popup from windows defender firewall when launching the game? I don't know if it's something to do with the new "anti-virus" thing they added as part of the update, or whatever it may be. One of my friends have the same issue too, only it's popping up constantly throughout any match or server they go into. Is anyone else having an issue like this, or no?

i know, did, its just the first time it's ever come up after years of playing, never really had tf2 asking for access to my firewall, just seemed strange

The tf2 .exe changed due to the 64bit update, so the firewall thinks its a new application, which it is, just let it access your firewall

New exe file. You've probably added the previous exe file the first time you've launched TF2 back then. With 64 bit support, it has a new, 64 bit exe file.

i'd do private tbh, i think it'll ask again if you have to do public or something
