Can someone help me why GNS3 is not working. I'm sharing the error message on below. "Error while getting VMs. Cannot connect to local server http://127.0.0.1:3080. Please check if GNS3 is allowed in you antivirus and firewall."
Mohaliden, thank you for confirming that the issue has been resolved after disabling AVG protection.
Open AVG Internet Security->Menu->Settings->Components->Firewall->Customize->Network Profile and change it to Private. Open AVG Internet Security->Menu->Settings->Components->Firewall->Customize->Policies->System Rules and set all rules to "Enabled".
Make sure the above settings are applied and let us know if the issue persists.
After i temporarily disabled the AVG. My GNS3 application is working now. The error message is gone now. Can you support on how to solve the GNS3 without temporarily disabling the AVG.

Dear AVG Team,
Thank you for sharing guidelines. I can now able to open my GNS3 without any issues so far.
@Avinash - The solution you provided is great. There's an alternate solution to this as well when your network profile is set to Public. AVG Internet Security > General > Exceptions: -- Add Npcap and GNS3 folders Note: Automatic AVG automatic scanning and shield protection will be excluded; however, a manual scan will scan the folders if necessary.
if i use the free version of AVG can i still do this solution? because as of right now i am trying to follow the steps but they dont seem to exist in my free version
as you can see i can go till the "Components" part but that is it
"Open AVG Internet Security->Menu->Settings->Components->Firewall->Customize->Network Profile and change it to Private."
