What are the whitelisted network endpoints and email domains?
HackerEarth uses certain third-party services to ensure high availability, security, and optimal platform performance.
Network domain whitelisting
Enterprises use services like DLP, VPN, CASB, and other data protection services to avoid data leaks from individual devices. Some of these block a few endpoints that are critical for the smooth functioning of the HackerEarth platform.
The following table has been created to highlight the various endpoints that should be whitelisted/allowed/exempted. These endpoints are managed services that have already been included as part of HackerEarth’s Data Protection Annexure and are GDPR compliant.

Email sender whitelisting
To ensure reliable delivery of important emails from HackerEarth (such as candidate assessment or interview invites, reports, and other notifications), you may need to whitelist our sender address within your email infrastructure.
Corporate mail gateways, security systems, and spam filters can sometimes block or filter emails based on internal security or spam policies. Whitelisting prevents these emails from being marked as spam or filtered.
| Email address | Why | How |
| support@hackerearth.com | This ensures that emails from HackerEarth Support are not marked as spam or blacklisted. | Whitelisting can be done at the mail gateway, corporate spam filter, or individual mailbox level, depending on your organization’s setup. |
Optional guidelines
- You can add support@hackerearth.com to your email allowlist/safe sender list.
- If using an enterprise spam filter (Proofpoint, Mimecast, Barracuda, etc.), add support@hackerearth.com to the approved source list.
- For inbound delivery reliability, consider also allowing the email domain @hackerearth.com.
Email whitelisting must be configured within your email infrastructure or spam-filter settings. It is separate from network or endpoint whitelisting.
