Agent Firewall Allowlisting Rules
Refer to this document for a list of addresses to optimize Automox agent functionality as well as addresses needed to patch Microsoft OS versions from Windows update.
Network and firewall requirements for running the Automox agent
If your organization has egress filtering on the firewall, you will need to allow access to the following hostnames / IP addresses for the Automox agent to communicate with the cloud platform. All agent communications take place over port 443 (https).
Agent access to content uploaded for use with Worklets and Required Software Policies:
automox-policy-files.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
