- Unable to establish connection to server: Connection refused: connect

Hi,

I got disconnected from the server I was playing on after 50 minutes of game with this message:

  • Unable to establish connection to server: Connection refused: connect

It happened also last week, and I cannot get back online.

Thanks for helping!

It should be back now.

Hi,

I just have disconnected and cannot connect back online, still the same error message, can you help?
Thanks.

Connections still refused.

Try again now. It’s up presently.

We are good now - thank you.

Good for me as well, thanks.

hello, I am having this exact issue since 2 weeks now, how can this be solved?
thank you very much

Are there any error messages?

I receive this message in the log
Unable to establish connection to server: Connection refused: connect

Is there anything in the error log?

I’m not sure which file to look into honestly

Look in the Module Manager under Help > Show Error Log.

Are you running some AV program or firewall that would prevent you from connecting?

nothing that i haven’t had all the other times I was using the modules

Do you get the same problem with a different computer on the same internet connection? On the same computer on a different internet connection?

If you are using VPN turn it off before connecting to the Vassal server.
