Netflix, Next Issue, Hulu Plus, Microsoft Windows Media Center

I own BitDefender Total Security 2015. I need to know how to create the specific firewall exceptions to permit outgoing network traffic for Microsoft Windows Media Center, Netflix, Hulu, and Next Issue modern UI apps within Microsoft Windows 8.1 64 bit. Previously, I was using Microsoft Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and it worked just fine. After installing BitDefender, these software applications and apps no longer permit me to log into my accounts. Please help me if you can. Thank you.
