Boris FX Hub requires an internet connection to function. If your computer is behind a firewall, access to the following resources needs to be permitted.
| Port | Destination | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| TCP port 443 (HTTPS) | borisfx.com | Fetch product metadata |
| TCP port 443 (HTTPS) | cdn.borisfx.com | Download product installers |
| TCP port 443 (HTTPS) | backend.borisfx.com | Authentication and account management |
| TCP port 80 (HTTP) | activation.genarts.com | License activation |
The IP addresses used for these services change frequently so a stateful firewall supporting rules based on domain names is required.
