How do I whitelist the Watchful IP address?

If you are are experiencing connection or validation issues on numerous sites, particularly on the same server, the Watchful IP Address may be blocked/blacklisted.

To solve this problem, at the server level, you can contact your host and ask them to whitelist thefollowing IP Addresses:

• 34.250.7.114
• 34.250.132.64
• 34.250.203.214
