xp.apple.com Is used for device updates and OS restore of macos and ios.

this is not a telemetry, but a common checker of the device.

i was restoring my personal MacBook pro and it keeps on failing with unable to connect to apple server. I then found the culprit that xp.apple.com is being blocked by 1host Pro. I change the blocklist and white list it. The restore went fine.

sorry. no screentshot of the failed macbook….

+++++

to verify this, i went to check my companies firewall allow list document ( my company uses apple products and we manages some blocklist as well), then wiki states the below:

XP.APPLE.COM - Allowed for device Restore and Update. Brick Device Possible if this is Blocked.
*SMOOT.APPLE.COM - Needs to be allowed. design team complains Spotlight Search not working.

Details verified with Apple Business and Tech Support. (IM8908765 and IM4326578)

both of these are blocked by 1host Pro. Can we unblock these? I cannot always use my companies DNS/VPN since they monitor it.
