#My anti-virus started flagging buckshot after I opted into Multiplayer:

I know Norton is sensitive about these things, but it went ballistic. Sending dozens of reports about buckshot.exe attempting to access the internet. Trying to connect my IP address on a specific port. All I did was opt into the multiplayer using the code on discord, booted up Buckshot, hit the multiplayer tab, realized there was no public matchmaking and left. Soon as I do, that's when Norton went off the end, shooting up dozens of these identical requests for Buckshot Roulette.exe to access the internet.

Naturally I blocked all of them, but this suddenly feels suspicious as hell. None of my other steam games with multiplayer get flagged by Norton this way. Not sure if a log or a screenshot of one these internet access requests would be needed (with the IP and port numbers censored out obviously), but I'm not feeling safe sharing that at this time.

Given multiplayer goes live in two days, there better be some clarity on why this is happening.
