Network Requirements for Contented Desktop App
Last updated: July 21, 2026
If your organization uses a firewall or web proxy, you may need to allowlist the following domains for the Contented desktop app to function correctly. All connections use HTTPS or WSS (WebSocket Secure) on port 443.
Required Domains
Domain | Protocol | Port | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTTPS | 443 | Core application |
| HTTPS | 443 | API |
| HTTPS | 443 | Core application |
| HTTPS | 443 | App updates and downloads |
| HTTPS | 443 | In-app help and support |
| HTTPS | 443 | Authentication |
| HTTPS | 443 | Recording upload (cloud storage) |
| WSS | 443 | Real-time events (WebSocket) |
Notes for IT Administrators
All traffic uses TLS encryption on port 443. No additional ports need to be opened.
If your organization performs TLS inspection (SSL interception), the Contented app relies on the Windows OS trust store and is compatible with corporate proxy certificates installed via Group Policy.
The two
amazonaws.comdomains are Contented's own AWS infrastructure (cloud storage and real-time API), hosted in the ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) region.IP-based allowlisting is not recommended, as cloud infrastructure IPs change. Domain-based rules are more reliable.
