Ref this thread:
Will Piwik or Google Analytics work with NO log files ????

What info do I need from Piwik real time web analytics so
you can add them to the 'white-list' of port 80 ????

It doesn't use port 80 on the server, it should all work fine

Received this error:

Unable to Connect to tcp://feeds.feedburner.com:80. Error #:

I think it calls home to check something...

You want 209.85.229.118 unblocking then

@Alex Mac
Looks like you are right about port 80

Received this from Piwik support forum

and found this with info.php

The problem isn't that sockets are disabled but that the server is blocking connections outbound to port 80. If you were to make a socket to port 81 there wouldn't be any of the same issues.
I've just done a brief search of the Piwik source files and the only references I can find to feedburner are in two of the example files, although the actual error may be coming from the core http class.
Unblocking of IPs is done by admins and it is at their discretion as to whether it is done on a case-by-case basis.

1.> I found "Piwik" in "Softaculous" in my x10hosting cPanel - assume it can be used in my account

2.> How do I make a "case" for unblocking port 80 for "Piwik" - for the admins to look at ????
