===== Network Requirements =====

Astroid utilizes HTTPS (port 443) to communicate with Thinknode Cloud Servers over the internet. This ports must be open to passive communication with external addresses from the machine that is running Astroid. Note that all communication is initiated from Astroid (i.e., there should be no need to forward ports to the Astroid workstations), however, you must ensure that the following address be allowed to communicate with the Astroid workstation in order for the software to function properly:

| Server URL | decimal.thinknode.io |
| Port       | 443  |
