Chrome Localhost Connection Refused
This question is not a duplicate because the suggested duplicate does not solve this problem. There is no such flag on chrome://flags/.
I'm using the Google Chrome web browser and WampServer to locally host a website. When I try to see my website on the localhost address in Chrome I'm getting the error ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. When I type the IP address 127.0.0.1 instead, the result stays the same.
On the other hand, if I enter localhost into the address bar on Internet Explorer I'm getting the expected result: The webpage displayed.
How do I make Chrome's localhost work? It may be some sort of security measure but to me it's rather an annoyance than anything else.

What happens when you typehttp://127.0.0.1/on both, and when you typehttp://[::1]/on both?

@grawity Yes, both surprisingly work inChromeand also onInternet Explorer. It seems like Chrome tries to dohttps://localhost/but can't because a secure connection is not available.

Google forChrome and localhostChrome has a few odd issues with localhost for some unknown reason. There are a few possible solutions, depending on your version and how many times the issue has been fixed and then re-occured.

Although I'm not using WampServer, I do get problems with Chrome refusing to access ports of localhost from time to time. I found clearing the cookies and files from the cache to resolve most of my issues.

Open command prompt as Administrator and type these two commands one by one:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="TCP Port 80" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=80
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="TCP Port 80" dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP localport=80
After doing so, restart the Wamp server and try to access http://localhost.
If that fails, try one of these links:
http://127.0.0.1:80
http://127.0.0.1:8080
http://127.0.0.1:443
http://127.0.0.1:4443
Good luck!
