Verizon Messages App Blocked by Windows Internet Filter

I have the latest version of the Verizon Messages App for Windows 10.  It suddenly stopped working, and it seems to be related to the Covenant Eyes filter that I have installed on my PC. Does anyone happen to know the hostname(s) of the servers that the Verizon Messages App communicates with so that I can manually configure the filter to let all the relevant traffic through, assuming this is the problem?

Sorry this is in the wrong place, I just found a Verizon Messages topic although I'd still appreciate an answer.

Looks like this has been moved to the right place now.  Oddly enough this issue only occurs with the new Verizon Messages App for Windows 10, not the old Message+ program for Windows 7.  I also solved the problem (for me) by rolling back to an earlier version of Covenant Eyes.

I definitely understand where you're coming from. Verizon Messages is a great app. We don't have that information available. We do recommend reaching out to your security software's manufacturer for assistance on this matter.
