Localhost:8090 blocked by kaspersky, Error: connection reset. Self-signed certs.

[boulepickDo]

working with nodejs and a local server, Kaspersky Total security keeps blocking localhost:8090 and not 127.0.0.1:8080. i have self-signed certificates that are working great but whatever i do Kaspersky keeps blocking localhost. it worked for the past year with Kaspersky giving a warning and me having to allow access to the un-secure site. however now it is not even asking for permission or warnings, just blocks it. i have tried on three different browser thinking this is a browser issue but same result. when i exit kaspersky, everything works find i can access the site through localhost. this is getting to be really frustrating, i’m unable to continue my work unless i disable Kasperky.

+1  same here using Kaspersky Security Cloud Free, Windows 10.   https://127.0.0.1 works, but https://localhost does not.  http does work

so to solve my issue i changed  my code from 

 

httpsServer.listen(port,  () => {

to 

httpsServer.listen(port, 'localhost', () => {

 

but it still does not explain why Kaspersky kept blocking the https://localhost and not the http://localhost or the https://127.0.0.1.

 

hope that can someone else with that frustrating kaspersky issue.

Hello, @boulepickDo 
There was a similar situation in version 21.1.15.500 and it has already been fixed in the new version of the program 21.2.16.590. What version of the program are you using?
Try updating Kaspersky Total Security to version 21.2.16.590 and check the problem

i was on version 21.15.500, updating to version 21.2.16.590 and will update later.

the update seem to have worked, i will continue to test and open a new case if the problem comes back.

Hello there. I have the same problem as the original poster but I am using Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

 

I see that I’m on version 21.1.15.500. How do I update the app version to the recommended 21.2.16.590? I only see options to update the virus database, not the app itself.

Thanks, will do. I was thinking I could do it in app.
