I need to use 127.0.0.1 as a proxy, but after configuring Firefox gives an error: The proxy server is refusing connections. In Chrome too. Please advice?
For testing-purposes I need to configure Firefox to manually select the proxy 127.0.0.1/8080. But after doing so, Firefox returns the error 'The proxy server is refusing connections'. When I do so in Chrome, the error is 'Unable to connect'. So I think it has to do with my network- or security setting. I tried to switch of all firewalls but to no avail. Can you help please? THnx

Just one command did the work: netsh http add iplisten 127.0.0.1
Thnx for the quick response! But unfortunately this didn't do the trick. I ran the command-prompt as an administrator, entered the command, started Firefox, configured the proxy. Then tried to navigated to a random site, but got the same error... DO you have any more ideas? Regards, JanWillem
