It may be down, or the host may be blocking your access to the website. To find more information, enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/best-url-shortener-for-wordpress-in-2023\/\">URL<\/a> of your website at https:\/\/downforeveryoneorjustme.com\/. This website checks whether your website is up.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">2- Reboot the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Router_(computing)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">router<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After confirming the website is up, the next step is to reboot the router, as it may have trouble establishing certain connections. Of course, in most cases, this method does not solve the problem, but you must take this step to ensure there is none.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">3. Clear your Chrome browser cache<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Like all other browsers, Chrome stores information on your System. This information helps Chrome load web pages faster, but sometimes the duplicate files cause problems in the browser. Therefore, one of the best solutions to fix the ERR_Connection_Refused error is to clear the browser cache. You can learn how to clear the Chrome browser cache through this article.<\/p>\n<div id=\"yn-article-display-card-19516\" class=\"yn-article-display-card yn-borderbox YEKTANET yn-article-display-card vertical \">\n<div class=\"yn-content\">\n<div class=\"yn-grid yn-borderbox\">\n<h3 class=\"yn-item hover vertical\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">4- Change the DNS server<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Chrome Browser uses DNS to map domain names to IP addresses. Sometimes, DNS issues cause problems with a website. To solve such issues, you can use an alternative DNS server.<\/p>\n<p>We have fully explained DNS and how to change it in Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS in an article you can access through the following link.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">5. Disable proxy servers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One reason for the problem and the ERR_Connection_Refused error in the Chrome browser is that the proxy server is active. In such cases, you can disable the proxy server and check whether the problem is resolved.<\/p>\n<p>To disable the <b>Proxy Server<\/b> on Windows, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>Enter the\u00a0<b>Setting<\/b> program.<\/p>\n<p>Click\u00a0<b>Network &amp; Internet<\/b>\u00a0and then select the\u00a0<b>proxy<\/b> on the left.<\/p>\n<p>Now set the\u00a0<b>Use a proxy server<\/b>\u00a0option\u00a0to\u00a0<b>off<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">6- Turn off the firewall<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The firewall&#8217;s job is to control the System&#8217;s input and output connections and limit some things. If you encounter an ERR_Connection_Refused error, one way to fix this is to turn off the firewall. To turn off the firewall in Windows, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<p>First, go to <b>Control Panel &gt; System and Security &gt; Windows Defender Firewall<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Select the\u00a0<b>Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off<\/b>\u00a0option.<\/p>\n<p>Select <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>Turn<\/strong><\/span><b>\u00a0off Windows Defender Firewall (not recommended<\/b> ) in the Private and Public network settings section.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, click OK to apply the changes.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">7. Disable Chrome extensions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Undoubtedly, we all use several extensions on the Chrome browser. Sometimes, these plugins cause problems in the browser and cause errors such as ERR_Connection_Refused.<\/p>\n<p>To find out whether these plugins are causing the problem, enable them and recheck the website&#8217;s connection status. To turn off Chrome extensions, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>Click on the three dots at the top of the Chrome browser and select Extensions from the More Tools section. Turn off all the extensions you see, then close and reopen Chrome. Now, check the access to the desired website again.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">8- Reset the Chrome<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Chrome allows you to reset your browser settings completely. Sometimes a website may have problems due to configuration issues. Resetting the browser helps solve this problem. However, resetting Chrome will not clear your history, bookmarks, or saved passwords. In any case, to reset the browser, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>Click the three dots at the top of the browser, then select Settings.<\/p>\n<p>Go to the Advanced section, then tap Reset Settings.<\/p>\n<p>Right-click Restore settings to their original defaults.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, click on Reset settings.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">9- Reinstall Chrome<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If none of these methods work, the last way to get rid of ERR_Connection_Refused is to remove and reinstall Chrome. In Windows, go to Settings &gt; Apps, tap Google Chrome, and select Uninstall.<\/p>\n<p>Was your problem solved by following these steps?
