I have issues accessing localhost via googlechrome at times.
Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost
Most of the time it works just fine, however when it is unable to load localhost, i have to wait for a period of time which varies from case to case before accessing it. This issue is affecting my productivity.
Does anyone have a permanent solution to this issue?
According this bug report you are problably facing a known bug in chrome.
Here is how to workaround it:
set "Built-in Asynchronous DNS" flag (in chrome://flags) to Disabled and restart

On Linux Debian 10 (Buster), I am using the http(s) client google-chrome-stable.
I was configuring (nginx) and testing (chrome) a reverse proxy and it got cached using a wrong domain.
I fixed the configuration but it still resolve to the wrong domain.
I have tried to go chrome://net-internals/#dns and click on Clear host cache but that didn't change anything.
I have tried to go chrome://net-internals/#sockets and click on Flush socket pools but that didn't change anything.
I am not working with FireFox, so FireFox can resolve correctly (so does curl).
After about 10 minutes, without restarting chrome. I did F5 (refresh) and it was loading the proper page. I haven't found a manual way to immediatly clear chrome cache.
I am doing devops and I haven't solved this issue for years.
Would love to know how to do one day :O
What happens if you open developer console F12 and then hold down on the refresh button and then select empty cache and hard reload?
Take a look at this gif for an example.
I answered this below for anyone that is interested
I'm on Windows 10 using Chrome, Firefox and MS Edge. I'm trying to do something for a class I'm taking and can't get it to work. All I want to do is add something like this to the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 mysite.dev
This is ALL to run on my local PC. I eventually need to have my site able to run on IIS, but this is the first step and I can't get past it. (I'm on my second day trying)
What I've done:
I did edits in notepad on a file on my desktop.
I renamed the original hosts file in the drivers/etc directory.
I copied my file into the drivers/etc directory.
I ran ipconfig -flushdns
I successfully pinged the new site with: ping mysite.dev
I cleared browsing history in all three browsers.
I reopened all three browsers.
All that failed to make any difference (and I rebooted as well) So I added this:
I ran ipconfig -flushdns
Then ipconfig -renew
Then ipconfig -registerdns
Then repeated steps 5->6 and all failed to make any difference. These are the errors per browser:
Chrome: This site can’t be reached mysite.dev refused to connect.
Firefox: Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at www.mysite.dev.
MS Edge: Hmmm...can’t reach this page
I noticed that all three browsers changed http to https. Not sure if that mattered but I followed instructions to disable this re-direct for all three browsers and NONE of them actually stopped the redirect to https.
And I still can't the correct result, which should be the IIS default page. I can see the IIS default page with localhost, so IIS is running.
Help! Any ideas or directions at all would be very appreciated!
Got the answer from someone. Google owns the .dev domains and has restrictions on it so it HAS to be HTTPS, which requires certs etc, which is not in the scope of my class. I just changed it to mysite.local and BOOM!, there it was! Thanks.
I have used a method for years that has worked for me and limited any mysterious domain-based issues with cookies and such.
In my /etc/hosts file, I do the following for the local development version of www.mysite.com:
127.0.0.1 localhost local.mysite.com
When I visit http://local.mysite.com:3000, this has done exactly what you'd expect for years and years, and still works in Safari and Firefox. However, Chrome started stubbornly giving me an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED message a few months ago, and I can't make it work. If I visit http://localhost:3000, it works fine, but I avoid developing against localhost for various reaions. I have tried every possible thing I can find on the internet (clearing caches etc), and nothing has made the error go away.
Anyone have any idea what can be done here?
In the browser, please clear host cache and then try it out. To clear host cache, follow the steps below
Open up Chrome browser and enter " chrome://net-internals/#dns " in the address bar without quotes
Click on the button Clear host cache
Restart your browser and try again
You need to disable the dns prefetching and network condition predicting services on chrome.
As chrome is trying to look for local.mysite.com in actual dns servers and not finding the local ip address.
You can see the below steps -
Go to chrome://settings
Click on "Show advanced settings..."
Unmark the Predict network actions to improve page load performance
box.
Check if the DNS prefetching is really disabled by going to
chrome://dns.
You should see there something like DNS pre-resolution and TCP
pre-connection is disabled.
I am using couchbase server , I have opened it and got popup as
"IP address seems to have changed . Unable to listen on 'ns_1#10.0.2.15'"
and after that it is showing error like localhost refused connection.
how to resolve this problem?
and what is exact root cause of this problem?
If this is a Couchbase installation in a developer environment then this is probably a benign issue.
What the error message is telling you is that the IP address that it had previously identified itself as does not appear to be valid any longer (This could happen in a developer environment if your router has given you a new IP). Generally this is a bad thing for a production deployment as if it is part of a cluster then the other nodes will no longer be able to see it.
If it is a single node and nothing external is trying to reach it with a fixed IP then there is no need to worry and there are no issues to be resolved.
I have a local webdev setup using AMPPS on OSX. I've done most of my work on Firefox and that's been working fine, but trying it on Chrome today gave me a whole bunch of Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED errors everywhere. Looking further it seems like Chrome wants to access every resource through HTTPS. Firefox doesn't have this issue, it access all resources through HTTP and the site displays fine.
Is there any way to force Chrome to access localhost through regular HTTP? I've tried every solution I could find - including going to chrome://net-internals/#hsts and deleting localhost (localhost doesn't show up in the domain query so there's nothing to delete) - and nothing seems to work.
