Troubleshooting

  • Network/Firewall issues - In many cases, we experience that client’s Web server is behind a firewall, which will block our requests. Therefore, please make sure that you have done the following whitelisting changes to your firewall:
  • Whitelist specific countries: please white list Serbia and The Netherlands.
  • Whitelist user-agent: ReactorNetty.
  • Request rates - If your store contains a large number of products, Price2Spy will have to make a large number of requests to your Web server in order to perform the syncing..
  • If a large number of requests is problematic for your Web server – please contact support@price2spy.com and we will spread the requests over a longer period of time
  • In case you’re not sure where to apply the above firewall changes, please get in touch with your hosting company. If you’re unsure whom to contact, please let us know, we’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.
