Cyberpanel Error: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

The ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error is a common issue encountered while browsing the web, including on Chrome. While it’s not exclusive to WordPress sites, it can disrupt our online experience. Fortunately, identifying and resolving this error is straightforward.

Today, we will look at the causes and offer practical troubleshooting steps to get you back online.

What is ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED?

This error occurs when our browser cannot establish a connection with the website we are trying to visit. The causes can range from connectivity issues to server-related or firewall-related problems.

Common Causes of ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

1. Unstable or disrupted internet connectivity.
2. Extensions like ad blockers interfere with connections.
3. Security software blocking access.
4. VPNs can sometimes disrupt normal connections.
5. Misconfigured proxy settings causing connection issues.
6. Server downtime or high traffic volumes.
7. Incorrect IP addresses, DNS settings, or restricted ports.

Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1: Refresh the Page and Clear Browser Cache

First, try refreshing the page, as the error might be a temporary glitch. Clear the browser’s cache and cookies if the issue persists to remove any corrupted or outdated data.

Step 2: Check Your Internet Connection

Verify the internet connection is stable. Try accessing other websites to confirm whether the issue is specific to one site or across multiple. If the connection is slow or disrupted, restart the router.

Step 3: Disable Proxy Settings

Proxy servers can sometimes cause connection issues if misconfigured. To disable proxy settings:

1. Open the browser settings.
2. Search for “proxy.”
3. Ensure proxy settings are disabled or set to “Detect Settings Automatically.”

Step 4: Temporarily Disable Firewall or Security Software

Firewalls and antivirus software can block legitimate connections. Temporarily disable them to test if they’re causing the issue. Remember to re-enable these tools after troubleshooting to maintain the device’s security.

Step 5: Flush DNS Cache

Clearing the DNS cache can resolve network configuration issues:

• Windows: Run `ipconfig /flushdns` in Command Prompt.
• macOS: Use `dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder` in Terminal.
• Ubuntu: Run `systemd-resolve –flush-caches` in Terminal.

Step 6: Troubleshoot Server-Related Issues

If the issue is server-related, ensure the server hosting the website is running properly. For instance, if we are using CyberPanel:

1. Check server logs using `nano /home/cyberpanel/error-logs.txt`.
2. Update CyberPanel with:

   sh <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/stable/preUpgrade.sh || wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usmannasir/cyberpanel/stable/preUpgrade.sh)

3. Restart the server and check logs for further insights.

Step 7: Restart Web Services

Ensure the services are running for websites running on OpenLiteSpeed or similar platforms. Start or restart the service via the server control panel.

Advanced Solutions

1. Allow IP Address via CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall): Run `csf -a [IP.add.re.ss]` to whitelist your IP.
2. Inspect CyberPanel Status: Check `systemctl status lscpd` to ensure all services are operational.
