Steve Barber Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I've been using LiveView web applications like LiveView Web on the default LiveView Client Listen Port of 10080 for like 10 years, and all of a sudden in the spring of 2021 they stopped working. What's going on here How do I fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Barber Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 What's going on here is likely that you are using the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browsers, and updated them recently. And new-ish versions of these browsers block access to port 10080 now by default. This is to help prevent increasingly common NAT Slipstreaming attacks from bad people who want to to bad things to your stuff. Chrome, for example, shows an ERR_UNSAFE_PORT error on the browser frame now when an attempt is made to browse to port 10080 on any machine, including localhost. I'd expect other browsers to follow suit soon enough. How to you get around this issue It's probably safer to have your LiveView applications use a different LiveView Client Listen Port that isn't considered unsafe. You can set this port number by including a LiveView Client API Listener Configuration file in your LiveView fragment project and setting the configuration/ClientAPIListener/portNumber setting to a safeĀ® port number. If you are willing to take the risk -- and I'm not not advising that you do so -- it is possible to have the browsers bypass the port restrictions. Again, I' not advising that you do this, but if you want to do it, it's a pretty easy web search for find out how for a given browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
