localhost:8080 "This site can’t be reached. localhost refused to connect."-CodePudding

I tried running html and css in VSC but when Chrome opens, i had the error "This site can't be reached. localhost refused to connect". What am I supposed to do? enter image description here

Did you first set up a server? If you need to, and you have python installed, try doing this:

python -V
# If the above fails, try:
python3 -V
# Or, if the "py" command is available, try:
py -V



# If Python version returned above is 3.X
# On Windows, try "python -m http.server" or "py -3 -m http.server"
python3 -m http.server
# If Python version returned above is 2.X
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

If it still is not working, make sure that you are on the right port.

Basically Google Chrome redirecting localhost to https. As you did not provide that much information but you can follow below steps. I am assuming this is caused by HSTS.

- Please open this chrome://net-internals/#hsts in your browser.
- Then Please Go down of the page and find Delete domain security policies.
- In the input field please enter "localhost".
- Restart browser.

This might resolve your issue
