Troubleshoot access to local apps or data
When accessing resources from the user's workstation from an iOS device use the IP address of the workstation, not "localhost" - iOS interprets addresses at localhost to refer to information on the device, rather than on the hosting machine
White-list the STunnel Addresses
Start the Perfecto Connect client in the foreground (with the -f flag set):
macosx:/usr/local/etc/perfecto$ ./perfectoconnect start -c demo.perfectomobile.com -s eyJhbGciOiJSUz...DxAkAuw82Hao7qrA -f
The client outputs the different process steps to the console, including steps in the following format:
11:11:38.340 launchTunnels ▶ DEBUG 003 Starting up channel on <port> [<address>]
Make sure to add the <address> included in the line to your network's white list.

Hi guys,
I got error as below when running Perfecto Connection with window fast-web. It works fine with Mobile devices. Could you please help?

Ensure you have Web cradle for "US East" location. Also, try by omitting 'location' capability while creating driver.
Thanks,
Guru
Ly Vinh
Guruswamy As you can see in Capabilities above, I was using "location: US East"
I also tried to remove 'location' from capability but still got the same issue.
Genesis Thomas
please raise a perfecto support ticket and share your sample driver creation code with them.
Genesis Thomas
Dear Ly Vinh,
We hope that you are now able to execute successfully with fast web following our email conversations a week ago.
Thanks,
Genesis

Thanks Genesis Thomas, it works with window fastweb now.
Thanks for your supporting.

Hi:
Pardon my unfamiliarity to networking. The above says, "The Perfecto Connect executable requires outgoing network access to the following URL. Add them to your system's security white-list (may require assistance from your IT personnel):
<lab-name>.connect.perfectomobile.com
So, I have access to <lab-name>.perfectomobile.com. If IT personnel adds the 2 URLs to the whitelist does that mean I will have access to those 2 URLs; meaning nothing else needs to be requested like creating a site of the same name?

Hi David!
I think you misunderstood the requirements, I'll try to simplify:
Some times corporates or small companies apply restrictions on their local network, so their employees won't be able to browse malicious or somewhat harmful other websites. In such cases, but not always, an employee who wishes to use a certain service on the Internet (Perfecto Connect, for this example) will need to contact the IT department at his workplace, so they can remove any restrictions applied on the network and allow his workstation to access the Perfecto Connect service, which is hosted on the Perfecto Cloud.
In most cases, these restrictions are not there to begin with. But if you work for a bank, for example, where the network is usually more hardened than other places, then you will have to check with your IT department if the Perfecto Connect service URLs are opened to use in your network.
To clarify - the Perfecto Connect service is already hosted online on the Perfecto cloud, and in order to use it, your workstation will need to reach it via the URLs provided. in laymen's term, the URLs are the 'addresses' of the service - you just need to knock on their door!

Hi Shai
Thank you for the quick reply. So, to confirm, nothing else needs to be done besides adding the 2 URLs to the whitelist?
Shai Dvash
Yes - nothing else needs to be done (configuration-wise) on your workstation. You just need to make sure it has access to these URLs
