Temporarily disable your Firewall/Anti-virus
We have contacted a large number of firewall manufacturers to identify League of Legends as a harmless application and add exceptions for League of Legends automatically. It is possible that your firewall simply needs the latest update from the manufacturer to apply these exceptions.
Please note: Some firewalls require an active subscription in order to receive the latest updates.
