Network application traffic is blocked by firewall when Application Guard is enabled

Issue/Introduction

With Windows Defender Application Guard Enabled and Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) firewall installed, traffic from network applications (such as the Edge web browser) is blocked.
 

Environment

Windows 10 Professional (Build 1803 or higher)

Cause

With Application Guard enabled, network traffic from protected applications is modified in complex ways that the current version of the SEP Firewall does not account for.
