Site accessibility & firewall considerations (Error 404 or Load Failed)

Overview

Modern Excel add-ins cannot make a direct connection to your ERP system due to the browser engine restrictions for cross-origin requests. In Excel for Mac and Excel Desktop for Windows, MS Office utilizes a Safari or Edge-based browser engine behind the scenes.

Therefore, Velixo NX uses a secure proxy server to facilitate the connection to your ERP system. The proxy never caches or stores your ERP data, it is used solely for authentication and request pass-through.

However, the fact that such a proxy server exists has two important implications:

  • Any ERP site that you connect to must be accessible over the public internet, with no VPN requirement

  • If your ERP host uses a firewall, it is important to allow-list not just your end users' IP addresses, but also those of Velixo NX's proxy servers

IP ranges and addresses for allow-listing:
