Describe the problem/error/question

I’ve been seeing this in my Docker n8n container log: “connect ECONNREFUSED 172.217.166.10:443” or other type of “connect ECONNREFUSED <‘some address:443’>.”

Check the attached other images at the end of this post.

I’m newbie to n8n, please answer in a way I can understand. Thank you >3

Hello! Thanks for asking mate🙂
I believe the issue is with my firewall rules [using Kaspersky Premium as cybersecurity and antivirus provider software], as it didn’t allow :443 to have the connection.

The IP address that I have mentioned seems to be Google servers. I had trouble when trying to run Google Sheets and YouTube nodes.

As I tried all troubleshooting, I found that turning off the firewall worked for me, and I wasn’t sure about how to set a rule for this to bypass, and so I was left with turning off the firewall.
