Add IP Addresses, URLs, and Hostnames to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions List
When you work in a secured network environment Proxy or Windows Firewall will restrict requests and responses from certain IP addresses or hostnames. To overcome this, whitelist these IP addresses, URLs, and hostnames by adding them to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions list. As a result, you can bypass Proxy or Firewall when accessing these addresses.
To seamlessly enjoy Tally Software Services (TSS) and other services like e-Way Bill, e-Invoice, banking, Tally product licenses, TallyShop, customer portal, and so on, list the required URLs as exceptions in the Windows Proxy and Firewall. Thereafter, Proxy or Firewall will not block the services from such URLs, and will allow requests and responses from such servers.
Adding IP addresses, URLs, and hostnames to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions will help in resolving potential issues in:
- Connecting company to Tally.NET
- Opening TallyShop
- Connectivity for synchronisation
- Product update (Capsule download)
- Activation or reactivation of license
You may add either the URL or the IP address in the Proxy or Firewall Exceptions list. In case you need to add the IP address, you can find the IP address using the URL.
List of IP Addresses, URLs, Hostnames, and Ports for Different Services
Whitelist the following URLs or hostnames and IP addresses in your Firewall or Proxy settings to seamlessly avail the services provided by Tally. For that, you have to identify the required IP addresses or URLs for the services you need and add them to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions.
