local-ssl-proxy: Request failed to proxy: ECONNREFUSED

NODE_OPTIONS=--dns-result-order=ipv4first npx local-ssl-proxy -s 9000 -t 3000

is working for me 🎉 Those of you mentioning Node 17 reminded me of that breaking change to the network stack in that version, I have no idea why it would be an issue in this package but I was able to repro over and over on my machine at least.

For me downgrading to Node v14.18.2 from Node 17 solved this issue

I’ve released v2.0.1, which I’ve tested works on all LTS versions of node – I hope this resolves the issue.

Hi, I’m having error “Request failed to proxy: ECONNREFUSED” on Node 17.3 It works fine on 16.13.1

I ran into this and the cause was that I didn’t specify a --hostname in the local-ssl-proxy command, since I wasn’t using localhost.

Just wanted to make a quick update, but make sure you’re running the commands for the source and target. I ran into where the source (local-ssl-proxy) was running, but the target (dev server on localhost) was not. I am using nextjs and just needed to run npm run dev along side local-ssl-proxy --source 3010 --target 3000 --cert localhost.pem --key localhost-key.pem

Im using node 16

I am also having this issue running Node 17.8.0. Downgrading to 16.13.0 resolved it.

How do you get the error? What happens when you browse to this address using Google chrome? It should give you the “not safe” screen warning. What is the platorm you are using? Any details on that? Im running windows
