Firewall configuration for QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 24.0

My organization wants to run QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 24.0 behind a firewall which does not allow any access to open internet.

Can I get the list of fixed port numbers and IP addresses which can be added as exception in the Firewall so that only those ports and IP addresses can be whitelisted ?

Which port is used for license verification for the latest version, If I allow access only to that port, would I be able to launch QuickBooks and work with local company files ?

Would QuickBooks transmit any of my company data or computer related metadata to its servers?

 

Please note - I have already reached out to QuickBooks support team, but they don't have these details.

I am NOT using QBO(QuickBooks Online). I am using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.

They won't share this kind of info. Trial and error are the only option.

I appreciate your getting back to us, @QucBk_desktop_developer.

 

I have reviewed the thread and understand the urgency of whitelisting Intuit IP addresses for your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enterprise. I recommend posting your concern again in the Intuit Developer forum, as only they can share the list of IP addresses you can add as an exception to your PC's firewall settings. 

 

When this is resolved, you can refer to this article on how to let other computers access QBDT company files from a host computer

 

You're always welcome in the Community should you have other concerns about the QBDT setup. We'll do our best to assist. Take care.
