Not able to access local server running after VPN connection

 

I have local application server running and I can access it using http://localhost:4554 .

If I connect to VPN not able to load above url. I am using dongle to connect to internet.

Please help!

To connect to localhost you must be connected to the same network as the device that is hosting the files. When you connect to a VPN however this is not the case. When you connect to a VPN it is similar to being on a completely different network as your external ip address will change therefore the local files cannot be reached. To access localhost in this case what you have to do is

  • Ensure that VPN is off
  • Set up port forwarding and then find out your external ip address.
  • Test it by using the external ip address instead of localhost . At this point you should be connected to the your local server.
  • Enable VPN and enter your previous external ip address because remember that your external ip address will change once VPN is enabled

    • Using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost as my host in the mysql connection settings solved the issue for me. I am on Avaya VPN
