About the problem

If you or your company uses a firewall, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} may not function as expected. {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} interacts with a remote machine learning model and checks for updates, and a firewall may block important traffic and degrade the user experience.
