We have a new setup where we don't have internet access for our machines which we code on. (Stupid Idea in my opinion). Our Network Security department wants to know if the following URL is the only URL needed to allow firewall access to Microsoft's Symbol server.

msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

Is this the same URL that visual studio uses when it goes off and tries to download the needed .pdb files when debugging?

  • There is no single correct answer. [This post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/27655501/17034) shows how you find out when you get in trouble, note that it lists more than one symbol server. – Hans Passant Jun 20 '18 at 19:08
  • @HansPassant That post deals with getting `.pdb` files with a newer framework. At the time of the post it looks like `.NET 4.5.2` was the latest. We currently develop on `.NET 4.5.2` so I don't think that post's issue would be a problem. – Jimenemex Jun 20 '18 at 20:39
  • Nothing to do with the framework version, the point was to help you see how you diagnose symbol server problems. – Hans Passant Jun 20 '18 at 20:49
