Hi there.
I have xampp applcation intalled in my machine and when I try to execute any local site, like:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
I recieve an error message than the site can not be reached with error code: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
All my local site were reachable before intall Avast anti virus.
Please, if anyone knows, to to unblock all local sites or the whole localhost.

The protocol is not HTTPS ?
Try adding localhost to the exceptions.

Temporarily disabling the firewall should confirm if Avast is at fault.
If Avast is at fault adding localhost and/or 127.0.0.1 should allow all “localhost” sites to be reachable.
Thank you for the response.
I have desabled Eather Avast antivirus and defender firewall and the problem remains.
The error code tha a get returned is: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
Do you have another suggestion?
Hi, please make sure that your network is marked as “Trusted” (Avast - Protection - Firewall - Network - SHOW SETTINGS - I trust this network).
You may need to restart your computer after making this change.
