On Windows 10, in a Go app started by a command prompt which has Administrator privs, I see this error when attempting a TLS connection:

dial tcp [host:port]: connectex: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

Do I need an outbound TCP firewall entry? This doesn't happen on Win7.

The app accepts HTTP connections fine, for which I created an inbound TCP firewall entry (which is necessary on Win7).

This was due to Norton Firewall.
