Your question

I started ComfyUI on my server and I try to access it through Chrome on my Macbook. It seems the access has been refused.

What is displayed?

[lxrswdd]

@ltdrdata It seems like the firewall blocked it. FYI, Automatic1111 url worked for me so there must be something different between the UI connections.

If this issue is occurring in exactly the same local environment, it could be a firewall issue. Try turning off the firewall.

I solve this problem by run the code in the terminal of vscode(ssh remote), instead of your local terminal.
