Add IP Addresses/URLs/Hostnames to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions List


Add IP Addresses/URLs/Hostnames to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions List

When you work in a secured network environment, Firewall or Proxy will restrict requests and responses from certain IP addresses or hostnames. To avoid this, you have to whitelist these IP addresses/URLs/hostnames by adding them to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions list. As a result, Proxy or Firewall will bypass or exclude the addresses in the list.

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, you have to list the required URLs as exceptions in the Windows Proxy and Firewall. Thereafter, services from such URLs will not be blocked, and requests and responses from servers will be allowed.

Adding IP addresses/URLs/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/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/URLs for the services you need and add them to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions.

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 it using the URL.

For example, you can find the IP address for e-Way Bill or e-Invoice services using the following procedure. However, this procedure does not apply to the e-Invoice demo URL used for sandbox services.

  1. Open Command Prompt.
    Either search for Command Prompt or enter cmd in the Windows search bar and select Command Prompt.
    If you do not see the Windows search bar, click the Start button at the bottom-left corner of your desktop.
  2. In the Command Prompt window, enter nslookup ewaybill.tallysolutions.com or nslookup einvoice.tallysolutions.com.Find IP Address
    Address – Refers to the IP address of your computer.
    Addresses – Refers to the IP address of the URL provided.
