Which domains do I need to whitelist to get Fitbit for Android app to connect?

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Having a problem with the Fitbit Android app on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ when trying to connect to a Fitbit Versa. When connected to my home Wi-Fi - protected by Pi-hole using Cloudflare DNS upstream - I get the following:



But it works just fine when connected to the phone's (Sprint) 4G LTE connection.

This lead me to believe Pi-hole is blocking some request the app is making. Checking the logs, however, shows only google-analytics.com was blocked when the app was in use. That domain resolves to marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/. Whitelisting both of those does nothing.

The affected phone is in a Pi-hole group whose lists do not have either URL in them, so AFAIK the app should be able to connect. Could Cloudflare possibly be the issue? Any ideas?

I was having the same problem, whitelisted google-analytics.com and it worked.

Putting cloudfront.net on the whitelist did the job for me.
