Obviously this info came from your FAQ, without which I may never had figured it out. I just repackaged it, so the thanks go to you.

I guess I never found this setting, but it makes no never mind. It seems the connection for all my other devices (Scanner, NAS, Roku, Printer etc...) are initiated from the computer so this firewall is not an issue. Since I infrequently need to actually connect CC to my computer I think I'll just stick to my work around. Thanks for the insight.

I did this but apparently without doing your step above it was unsuccessful and since I do use a VPN, most likely not finding that setting was for the best
