We sadly cannot guarantee that all services of BitPaper will work on school or university networks that are behind firewalls, personal VPNs, or in certain jurisdictions such as China or the UAE.

If you are having trouble connecting to our real-time network or receive the following error message

If you are behind a network firewall, you can ask the Administrator or IT manager to whitelist the following domains and add them to their websocket whitelist:
​

*.bitpaper.io

*.s3.amazonaws.com

*.tokbox.com

*.herokuapp.com

If they don't want to whitelist all domains under *.s3.amazonaws.com you can only specifically whitelist: https://bitpaper.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/*
