04. Network Requirements
The following recommendations apply to any proxy,
firewall, content filter, or other security device setup
on local devices and local networks. When testing
your network, it is important to determine if you can
access other websites to ensure that your internet
connection is functioning properly. Follow these tips
to ensure a smooth implementation on test day.
Open these ports fully:
• Http (80)
• Https (443)
Set these IP addresses to approved, unblocked,
or give them the highest priority:
• 64.27.100.27
• 64.27.64.232
• 206.188.17.0/24*
• 64.106.193.0/24*
• 64.106.220.0/24*
*These are IP ranges. If your system does not
accept them, remove the “0/24” portion.
Approve these domains and give
them unrestricted access.**
• http://*.starttestr.com
• https://*.starttestr.com
• http://*.starttest.com
• https://*.starttest.com
• http://*.starttest2.com
• https://*.starttest2.com

**Some systems may require you to list these as:
“(1) http://starttest.com (2) http://starttest2.com
(3) *.starttest.com* (4)*.starttest2.com*” etc.
Adjust your Windows firewall to allow free communication
with the ISEE Online website if you’re using a PC. To do this,
