Required Domains Why the Rules Need to Be Domain-Based Customized Knowledge Bases Requesting the List for Your Account

Your knowledge base loads fonts, scripts, and images from a small set of external domains. If your organization filters outbound traffic through a firewall, proxy, or security stack, those domains need to be reachable or parts of your knowledge base will not load correctly.

In this article, you’ll learn:

  • Which domains a standard knowledge base requires
  • Why the rules need to be domain-based
  • Why a customized knowledge base may need additional domains
  • How to request the list for your own account

Required Domains

The domains below are requested by a standard knowledge base across its Home Page, Category Page, Article Page, Author Page, Contact Us Page and Thanks Page.

Domain What it serves
static.helpjuice.com Your knowledge base theme files, images and uploads
s3.amazonaws.com Platform assets, including icon fonts
cdnjs.cloudflare.com JavaScript libraries used by the frontend
fonts.googleapis.com Google Fonts stylesheets
fonts.gstatic.com Google Fonts font files
www.google.com Google services used by the frontend
www.gstatic.com Static assets for those Google services
secure.gravatar.com Author and user profile images
js-agent.newrelic.com Performance monitoring script
bam.nr-data.net Performance monitoring data collection

Your own knowledge base address also needs to be reachable. For a standard setup this is yoursubdomain.helpjuice.com, and if you use a custom domain it is that address instead.

Why the Rules Need to Be Domain-Based

We do not publish or reserve a static IP range for these services. The addresses behind them belong to content delivery networks and change without notice.

Firewall and proxy rules therefore need to be written against the domain names rather than against IP addresses.

A rule built on IP addresses resolved today will stop working when those addresses change.

 

Customized Knowledge Bases

The list above covers a standard knowledge base. If your knowledge base has been customized, its theme may reference domains that are not on that list.

This commonly includes:

  • Font and script providers used by a custom design
  • Third-party widgets such as live chat or scheduling tools
  • Analytics or tag management containers configured by your team
  • Links pointing to your own internal systems

A tag manager container managed by your team decides at runtime what it loads, so its requests cannot be determined from our side.

 

Requesting the List for Your Account

If your knowledge base has been customized, contact our support team and ask for a network requirements check against your account. We will review your knowledge base and confirm which additional domains it references.

Why is the knowledge base important?

With a knowledge base, you can allow your customers to self-help themselves, thus reducing your customer support by up to 60%. Furthermore, you can also have your team get instant answers to the questions they need without having to email themselves all using knowledge base software.

What is the purpose of a knowledge base?

The purpose of knowledge base software is to allow you to host your knowledge base/corporate wiki in one centralized 'hub'. Both your customers, and employees can now access information within seconds!
