Troubleshooting IDE Plugin Connectivity

If the Aikido IDE plugin cannot connect or login is not persistent, it’s likely due to a network restriction or firewall rule.

To function correctly, the plugin must be able to access the following domains over HTTPS (port 443):

*.aikido.dev
or
ide.aikido.dev

Troubleshooting

1. Check connectivity from your terminal

macOS / Linux (bash)

# Test DNS resolution
nslookup ide.aikido.dev

# Test HTTPS connectivity
curl -v https://ide.aikido.dev/ping

# Or check if the port is open
nc -vz ide.aikido.dev 443

Windows (PowerShell)

# Test DNS resolution
Resolve-DnsName ide.aikido.dev

# Test HTTPS connectivity
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://ide.aikido.dev/ping -UseBasicParsing

# Test port connectivity
Test-NetConnection ide.aikido.dev -Port 443

2. Verify proxy or firewall settings

• Ensure your proxy or corporate firewall allows outbound HTTPS connections to *.aikido.dev.

• If you’re using a VPN, try disabling it temporarily to see if it affects connectivity.

• Confirm no SSL interception or certificate pinning issues are blocking access.

3. Still having issues?

If all tests fail or you receive timeouts, please share the command output with the Aikido team so we can help diagnose further.
