Windows Firewal Control is blocking AirVPN Eddie-UI client from connecting

I am trying to get my VPN service up and running on my system but my firewall program just refuses to let it connect.

The VPN service AirVPN and I am on windows 11. I use  Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control as my Firewall program, I have my firewall set to always block all Inbound/Outbound connections, unless, I specifically make an exception for a software via a rule.

I have tried "white listing" AirVPNs client, Eddie, by making an "allow" rule for it, when I try to connect to the VPN via Eddie client, it hangs until it times out.

I even tried to allow rules for every file in the "/program files/AirVPN" folder, I still cannot connect, as shown HERE.

The only way I can connect is to set my Firewall to global Firewall rule from "High Filtering" to low "Low Filtering". This defeats the whole point why I got a VPN.

Admittedly, I know next to nothing about networking. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
