Hi there, 

So recently i been having a issue with the website on my laptop, everytime i try to go on Pastebin.com i always receive the the issue code "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" I tried things with my DNS settings, Proxy etc, i even changed my browser and i still got the code, On my phone it works perfectly but on my Laptop i always get the code.

Is there a quick fix for this? 

Thank you have a good day! 

Kamil

A fix i found for this is to use a browser vpn extension.

    Hello Kamil, welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Luiz Cruz, an independent consultant and I would be happy to help you.

    I understand that you are having problems with the error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED", in which case I recommend the following solutions:

    Anyway, try to disable your antivirus and Windows firewall just to make a diagnosis, after activating them.

    It worked?

    If the behavior persists, perform the following steps carefully:

    Method 1

    Reset your browsers:

    Internet Explorer:

    1. Press the Windows + R keys, type inetcpl.cpl and click OK;
    2. Click the Advanced tab, click Restore Advanced Settings and click Reset;
    3. Check the option Delete personal files and click Ok.

    Google Chrome:

    1. Shut down Google Chrome;
    2. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run Menu;
    3. In the Run menu, type: %localappdata%\Google\Chrome and click OK;
    4. Delete the User Data folder.

    Method 2

    Reset your connection to the Network:

    1. Press the Windows + Q keys and type CMD;
    2. Right-click on CMD and choose Run as Administrator;
    3. Paste the commands below one by one, and to process it, press Enter:

    ipconfig /release [Enter]

    ipconfig /renew [Enter]

    ipconfig /flushdns [Enter]

    nbtstat -RR [Enter]

    Netsh winsock reset [Enter]

    net localgroup administradores localservice /add [Enter]

    fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\ [Enter]

    Method 3

    1. Press the Windows + R keys, type Ncpa.cpl and click OK;
    2. Right-click on your connection and select Properties;
    3. Select the TCP /IPv4 Protocol and click Properties;
    4. Enable the option Use the following DNS Server addresses;
    5. Add the following information:

    Preferred DNS Server: 208.67.222.222

    Alternative DNS Server: 208.67.220.220

    1. Click OK.

    Did the error remain? If so, try changing the following DNS addresses:

    Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8 | Alternative DNS Server: 8.8.4.4

    Hope this helps!

    This method did not fix my issue with connecting to Pastebin also.

    I cannot open pastebin in any browser also.

    Cheers,

    Hi, 

    I've tried all those methods and sadly none of those methods worked, 

    is there a different way of fixing this? 

    As not only it doesnt work on Chrome but also on other browsers.
