We have been made aware that some web filters block AWS apps; this will create a false message that a user does not have an active account and there is no button to click to pay for a subscription; if this is the case, we advise IT departments to create an exception for AWS in their web filter. Contact info@quizbowlsystems.com for further details.
QuizBowl PRO Online is hosted in the cloud using AWS (Amazon Web Services). The following ports must be unblocked in order for the system to function properly:
1. Port 80
2. Port 443.
3. Port 3000 (a port used by Amazon Web Services, where we host the system)
4. Port 4000 (wss://online.quizbowlsystems.com:4000 <http://online.quizbowlsystems.com:4000>)
The first 3 are well known and usually unblocked anyway, but the 4th one - a socket URL that handles host-player interaction - is specific to QuizBowl PRO. Please check with your organization's IT department to make sure that all 4 ports are unblocked.
