Helperbird Pro Unlocking Issues - Check Your Network and Firewall

Troubleshoot Helperbird Pro firewall issues. Fix connectivity problems with your firewall Support accessibility for everyone.

If you've entered your subscription key or logged in but Helperbird Pro still won't unlock, your network or firewall might be blocking the connection.

Let's figure out what's happening and get you back up and running.


Step 1: Check Helperbird Server Connection

Helperbird needs to connect to our server to verify your subscription. Your network must allow access to https://engine.helperbird.app.

If you're on a work or school network, your IT department might be blocking this URL. You may need to ask your IT admin to whitelist it so Helperbird can connect properly.


Step 2: Test Your Network and Firewall

The easiest way to check if your network is blocking Helperbird is to run our quick test. Open your browser and go to https://engine.helperbird.app/firewall/.

If you see the message You should be able to unlock Helperbird Pro - no network or firewall is blocking you. then your network is clear and Helperbird should work.

If you see a different message or get an error, your network or firewall is likely blocking the connection.


Step 3: Get Help If Still Blocked

If the firewall test shows everything is clear but Helperbird Pro still won't unlock, something else might be going on. Reach out to our support team at [email protected] and let us know you've already run the firewall test. We'll help you troubleshoot and get Helperbird working for you.

Tip: If you're on a school or work network, having your IT admin whitelist https://engine.helperbird.app ahead of time can save you a lot of hassle!

This tool helps so many of our students at school - not only those students who have dyslexia, but students and adults who have other learning differences (and those who don't!). It helps ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in their learning!

Amazing Extensions in chrome. I Installed in my parents computer, because my dad have a poor vision, due to bad eye surgery. this extension really helps to have able to manipulate the font and font size for more comfortable use instead of chrome zoom feature. Because the chrome zoom feature is its overly zoom will cause the page looking super weird.

This chrome extension is absolutely amazing. I'm a Primary school teacher and it helps children with a broad range of needs. It's so easy to set up. I love the way it syncs across devices so set up is seamless across all the children's computers. The customizable features are a game changer for allowing children to enjoy reading and accessing the web in our school. The best application I have ever seen for school children. Looking forward to trying the iPad application soon.
