      I use firefox. When I try to login.

      1. I Press "Log in with browser" The blue button in the launcher.
      2. I log in in my browser.
      3. When I press Authorize. I get this messege.

      Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:57728

      I dont understand what goes wrong. I have tried using Chrome, Edge and opera and nothing works.
      For some reason localhost:57728 is blocked and I dont know how to fix it. Have not been able to play for month and nothing has worked.
      Please Help. I just want to play

              You can follow this to find out if the port is actually blocked: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/performance/determine-which-program-use-block-tcp-ports

                @katharsas What am I meant to do if it's 'blocked'? How do I tell if it's blocked? When I check in cmd it says that it is 'listening' rather than 'established' but what do I do then?

                  "Listening" means that some program is waiting on that port for connections, which means the port is blocked for other porgrams.
                  Behing 'listening' there should be a number, which is the PID (process ID) of the program that is using (listening on) the port.

                  The link i gave also describes how to get the name of the porgram from that number ("How to match the process ID to a program").

                  Once you know which software is blocking the port, you can decide on a solution:

                  • Killing the program once when you want to play FAF
                  • Uninstalling the program permanently
                  • ...
