While using Studio, it connects to different services to download required automation packages, check licenses, verify certificates, and more. Denying any of these services can result in operation discrepancies, or even failure.

By default, the following outbound connections are used:

| Hostname | Protocol | Port | Application | Comments |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `activate.uipath.com` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Used for contacting UiPath Licensing Server and activating Studio. |
| `pkgs.dev.azure.com` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Official feed to download activity packages. |
| `cloud.uipath.com` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Studio uses this endpoint to connect to the cloud version of Orchestrator. This URL is custom if the on-prem version of Orchestrator is used. |
| `gallery.uipath.com` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Default marketplace feed. |
| `nuget.org` `*` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Default feed to download activity dependencies. |
| `dc.applicationinsights.azure.com`  `dc.applicationinsights.microsoft.com`  `dc.services.visualstudio.com` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Studio uses these endpoints to send Telemetry data.* (Telemetry can be disabled following the steps from [Opting Out of Telemetry](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2025.10/user-guide/opting-out-of-telemetry#opting-out-of-telemetry)*) |
| `du.uipath.com` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Studio uses this endpoint for activity suggestions in the Command Palette. |
| `account.uipath.com` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Used for logging in with your UiPath account. |
| `autopwhereprdsa.z6.web.core.windows.net` `**` | TCP | 443 | HTTPS | Used by Autopilot Chat to serve static files. Required only on Studio 2025.10 versions earlier than 2025.10.9. |

`*` NuGet does not support TLS 1.3. Enabling the protocol causes a handshake failure error when connecting to the services.

`**` This endpoint was removed in Studio 2025.10.9 when static files moved to the UiPath backend. Upgrade to 2025.10.11 or later to remove it from your allowlist.

Below you can find the URL list in a raw JSON format which can be added to your allow list network configuration.
