URLs to unblock in a firewall
What specific URLs should be unblocked in a network firewall for access to the iTunes Store from iOS devices and iTunes software?
A very dated article from 2009 (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1379) suggests these:
- itunes.apple.com
- ax.itunes.apple.com
- albert.apple.com
- gs.apple.com
However, this is NOT an exhaustive list. iTunes Store access still does not work properly, even with these sites unblocked.
Another post here recommends including phobos.apple.com. That still doesn't make everything work.
I've even allowed all apple.com sites, and that also doesn't work. I believe the issue is with the third party content distributors Apple is using, such as Akamai.
Anyone have any better ideas on this, or know how we can get Apple to update their outdated support document on this?
Thanks.
