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!

Simplemente increíble. Nunca he tenido una extensión con tantísimas opciones juntas. Como profesor, siempre la recomiendo a las familias de estudiantes con dificultades para mantener la atención, a la hora de leer, y otras necesidades específicas, aunque pienso que puede ser de uso para cualquiera. ¡Un 10!

Immersive Reader from Microsoft is amazing, but my friends in Google districts were missing out until I found Helperbird. Great for proofreading! Simply highlight the text and have it read back to you, change the spacing in your view, highlight parts of speech, even translate by word or by document to have it read to you and adjust the speed! So amazing that I posted a YouTube tutorial within days of installing it. Plus, unlike many extensions, it didn't ask for obnoxious permissions like asking to delete everything in my Google Drive. #Winner #a11y

It used to be a little rough but the Helperbird support team gave me access to the beta and can't wait for it to be released. Giving it 5 stars mostly for support and the upcoming features.
