Demo site trying to connect to Facebook.net?

[Bob]

Hi, the Kendo demo site stopped working for myself and my co-worker.  My company blocks "connect.facebook.net" which is getting pinged when I look at Fiddler.  This results in each demo control page not loading the actual demo content.

Hello Bob,

We are sorry to hear that you have issues with the website but we can't reproduce that.

Can you please check again if this is the only one domain that is blocked. Can you open for example http://cdn.kendostatic.com/2014.2.903/js/kendo.all.min.js ?

If possible, please send us screenshot and URL of the problematic page.

Regards,

I ended up working with our security team to unblock some URLs so now all loads up fine.  Thanks for reply though.

Hi Bob,

The request to connect.facebook.net is generated by the Google Tag Manager scripts. We use this tool to analyse the visitor behavior on our websites, so that we can improve the content, structure and navigation. We are not sure about the purpose of this Tag Manager activity and whether it is possible to prevent it.

If allowing access to the Facebook domain is not an option, a possible alternative is to block the googletagmanager.com domain or run our demo site locally.
