Exclude TallyPrime Program & Ports from Third-Party Firewall

In case you are using third-party tools for network security, then you have to add the program files and ports to the Firewall Exceptions list. Refer to their official site for the required procedures.

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 synchronization
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

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.

Find IP Address Using URL

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 e invoice.tally solutions.com.

Address – Refers to the IP address of your computer. Addresses – Refers to the IP address of the URL provided.

Add Tally Server URLs to Windows Proxy Exceptions

Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections.
Click LAN Settings > Use proxy server for your LAN > Advanced.
Under the Exceptions section, type *.tallysolutions.com:80; *.tallysolutions.com:443; *.tallysolutions.com:9009; *.tallyenterprise.com:80; *.tallyenterprise.com:9050;, as shown below. Hereafter, the Proxy will allow requests and responses from all Tally servers under tallysolutions.com and tallyenterprise.com.

You can follow the same steps to add specific URLs for the services that you want to avail. Refer to the List of URLs, IP Addresses, and Ports for Different Services for the complete list.

Add IP Addresses/URLs in Third-Party Firewall Exceptions

In case you are using third-party tools for network security, then you have to add the required IP addresses/URLs/hostnames to the Firewall Exceptions. Refer to their official site for the required procedures.
