I am trying to setup cypress on my work laptop but for some reason i am unable to open the local host to run cypress, can you please advise if i am missing some thing in settings, i think it has some thing to do with firewall settings but i have tried opening cypress with firewall settings off still dont work, can some one advise please.

Could you please explain a bit more what do you mean by opening Cypress on localhost?
Does it work if you navigate to a specific page?
Do you have somenthing running on localhost?
I mean does that URL return somenthing in a Browser?
e
Yeah that base url looks rather odd. What port is your web server running on?

Its sorted thanks guys, the company proxy was stopping us going to local host, I disabled the proxy and the local host is working now, of course the next step would be to by pass the company proxy settings, can I please have some advised on how to avoid or by pass or white list company proxy into cypress, disabling the proxy was temporary solution of course now I need to look for actual solution
