ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSEDConnection Refused
The website's server actively rejected the connection. The server is reachable on the network but nothing is listening on the requested port.
Why this happens
- The web server process (nginx, Apache, Node) crashed or is not running
- A firewall on the server is blocking incoming connections on port 80/443
- The website is temporarily offline or under maintenance
- You're connecting to the wrong port or IP address
- A local firewall or antivirus is blocking the connection
How to fix it
- 1
Check if the site is down for everyone at /tools/website-down-checker
- 2
Wait a few minutes and try again — servers often restart automatically
- 3
Try loading the site on a different network (mobile data vs Wi-Fi)
- 4
Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus and try again
- 5
Verify the URL is correct and not missing "www" or using the wrong protocol
