Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:54321.

Good day to you all, when I am trying to setup extension, I click on “Login with Github”, browser opens with address http://localhost:54321/callback?code=********* and I get error mentioned in the subject, i.e.

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:54321.

I tried opening the link in MS Edge (the chromium based one), I tried checking hosts file to see if there is somehow any localhost redirect/blocking, I tried ipconfig flushdns and renew, nothing worked.

I do have node.js installed on my Windows 10 machine, but as I understood, it runs on localhost:5000 only if I am running node and some app within…?

Thanks for any help, I hope solving this issue would help others with seamless installation of the extension.

• Windows 10 ver. 2004
• latest VS Code etc.

Thanks @csaska I found a workaround. I created a SSH Tunnel from my local computer to remote one which is running Code-Server over HTTPS 8443 port and Settings Sync worked.

ssh -L localhost:54321:192.168.1.59:54321 chilcano@192.168.1.59

Code-Server is running on 192.168.1.59:8443. Regards.

For people who are using kubernetes, you can port-forward like below, the “Login in with Github” now works!

kubectl port-forward deployment/code-server-deployment -n code-server 54321
