dial tcp 127.0.0.1:5000: connect: connection refused

Question

I have hosted a flask web application and when I try to open it from the Firefox browser it says "dial TCP 127.0.0.1:5000: connect: connection refused". But when I try to open the URI in chrome it works fine. What could be the possible reason?

Answer 1

You must be using VPN in your browser. That's why you are unable to access app with localhost.

Try disconnecting the VPN.
