Add TallyPrime EXE, Ports, IP Addresses, URLs, and Hostnames to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions List

To ensure that TallyPrime functions seamlessly on your computer you need to whitelist the program files and relevant ports. For this, add TallyPrime EXE and ports to the Firewall Exceptions list. You can follow similar steps in Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Similarly, when you work in a secured network environment Proxy or Windows Firewall will restrict requests and responses from certain IP addresses or hostnames. To overcome this, whitelist these IP addresses, URLs, and hostnames by adding them to Windows Proxy or Firewall Exceptions list. As a result, you can bypass Proxy or Firewall when accessing these addresses.

To seamlessly enjoy Tally Software Services (TSS) and other services like e-Way Bill, e-Invoice, banking, Tally product licenses, TallyShop, customer portal, and so on, list the required URLs as exceptions in the Windows Proxy and Firewall. Thereafter, Proxy or Firewall will not block the services from such URLs, and will allow requests and responses from such servers.

Add TallyPrime Data Extensions in Antivirus Exceptions List

If you are using antivirus software, it could lead to potential interference with your TallyPrime company data due to safety protocols. This interference may cause performance issues and interruptions within TallyPrime data as the antivirus scans these files. To overcome this issue, you can configure your antivirus software to exclude specific file types or folders related to TallyPrime. Antivirus programs often have settings that allow you to create exceptions or exclusions. 

The entire process involves,

1. Identifying and locating your TallyPrime data extensions that are to be excluded from the antivirus scan
2. Adding the TallyPrime data extensions to the exceptions list of the antivirus

1. Locate and note the TallyPrime company data extensions.

   1. Gateway of Tally > F1 (Help) > About and press Enter.
      About screen opens.
      Under Data Information you can see Location of Company data.
      

   2. Note down the company data location path.
   3. Open this path on your local desktop and identify the .1800 and .TSF data extensions located in the data folder that are to be added to the antivirus exceptions list.
      

2. Add TallyPrime company data extensions to the antivirus exceptions list.

   1. Open your antivirus software and look for settings or options related to “Exclusions,” “Exceptions,” or “Allow List.”
      This feature is usually found within the settings or configuration menu.

   2. Add TallyPrime company data extensions to the exceptions list.
      Within the exclusions or exceptions settings, there should be an option to add files or folders to be excluded from scanning.
      Specify the data extensions ( .1800 and tsf files) used by TallyPrime via the company data location path noted earlier.

3. After adding the necessary company data extensions, save the changes in your antivirus settings.
   Some antivirus software might require a system restart for the changes to take effect.
