TG Connect is connected, but my local URL is still not opening. What should I check?

Modified on Tue, Jun 16 at 6:01 PM


If TG Connect shows as connected but your local URL is not opening on the TestGrid device or browser, check the following:

  1. Confirm that your local application is running

    • Make sure the application/server is active on your machine.

    • Example: localhost:3000, 127.0.0.1:8080, or your custom local URL should be reachable locally.

  2. Verify the URL on your local browser

    • Open the same URL directly in your local system browser.

    • If it does not open locally, TG Connect will not be able to access it either.

  3. Ensure TG Connect is still running

    • Check the terminal where TG Connect was started.

    • Make sure there are no errors, disconnections, or stopped processes.

  4. Check the proxy port configuration

    • Confirm that the correct proxy port is entered on the TestGrid device or browser.

    • If the wrong port is used, the device/browser will not route traffic through TG Connect.

  5. Check firewall, VPN, or proxy restrictions

    • Your company firewall, VPN, or internal proxy may block the connection.

    • Try disabling VPN temporarily, if allowed by your organization, or check internally whether the required connection/IPs can be bypassed.

  6. For mobile devices, check TG connect option is enabled

    • Make sure the mobile device is routing traffic through TG Connect correctly.

If the issue still persists, share the following details with TestGrid Support:

  • Local URL format being accessed

  • TG Connect terminal logs

  • Proxy port configured

  • Device/browser used

  • Screen recording of the behavior

Screenshot needed:
Add screenshots for:

  • TG Connect terminal showing connected status

  • Proxy/port configuration on the TestGrid device or browser

  • Error shown when opening the local URL
