Technical requirements – remote consultation toolbar

This article describes the technical requirements for the myGP desktop app.

Windows administrator rights

Windows Administrator rights are not explicitly required to install the myGP toolbar client. A regular user should be able to install on their own.

If all installation of applications are blocked for non-administrator users, local IT Support team will be required to provide assistance during installation or will need to whitelist the myGP toolbar application

Installation and folder read/write access

myGP Buddy uses the OneClick install solution from Microsoft. If you require an enterprise level installation solution, please contact myGP Support to discuss this.

Read/write access is required to these folders:

C:\Users\Username\

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\

Where access to the above folders are blocked, myGP toolbar may be able to install, but would not be permitted to function.

Anti-virus

myGP Buddy could get blocked by anti-virus software. We advise that myGPย  is whitelisted on any CCG/CSU managed anti-virus solutions.

We work with the major anti-virus suppliers to verify the myGP toolbar application, which should reduce anti-virus software from blocking or generating errors when myGP Buddy is run.

Firewall requirements

Port 443 (HTTPS) is open

No restrictions to the address:

https://buddyapi.iplato.net/

Whitelist access to the following IP addresses:

  • 212.237.215.25
  • 3.8.158.27

Firewall solutions should not block the myGP Buddy application.

Ensure any proxy that is in use permits access to the following domains:

  • mygp.com
  • iplato.net
