Connecting to Web1on1 through a company firewall

If you're able to access the Web1on1 platform from home or elsewhere but cannot get online in the office, the issue is likely to be with your company's corporate firewall or proxy. You can test your connectivity here - if this site says that you have a successful WebSocket connection, the issue is not related to a firewall.

If you can't connect, here's what to do

  • Ask your IT department to allow or whitelist secure websocket connections to api.web1on1.chat.
  • Inform them that protocol support needed are websockets (wss://) and http (https://)
  • Both to:
    • host: api.web1on1.chat
    • port: 443 (standard port)

If you still can't connect you may need to update your anti-virus or firewall to the latest version to ensure that it’s not blocking your connection.

Disable browser extensions

How to do this varies depending on which browser you're using. The important thing is to try to make sure nothing is interfering with your connection to Web1on1 (eg parental control software or ad-blocking).

To disable browser extensions:

If you’re using Chrome, try using an Incognito window (which does not employ your installed extensions) to use Web1on1.

Web1on1 works with the latest versions of:

Incompatible browsers

Web1on1 does not work with:

  • Internet Explorer 10

  • Internet Explorer 11

  • Opera

  • Developer or Beta versions of supported browsers

Web1on1 is a modern web application that uses some of the newest capabilities of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Different browsers still interpret these in different ways. These differences could potentially cause severe bugs - like data not saving, or data becoming corrupted and overwriting good data.

To protect your data and to make sure the platform's functionality is delivered properly, we test and develop for the list of compatible browsers and block access to Web1on1 from those browsers listed as incompatible above.
