C# | Running web api project locally | ‘Your connection isn’t private’ warning

I’ve created a simple Web API project with one controller.

While running the project from Visual Studio, I encountered the following error in the browser.

You can bypass this warning and load the page by clicking on the ‘Continue to localhost (unsafe)’ link. However, in some organizations, you may not even see the ‘Continue to localhost (unsafe)’ option.

Lets see how to fix this.

From your browser, open a new tab and hit “edge://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost“. Then select ‘Enabled’ from the dropdown and click on ‘Restart’.
- For Chrome browser, hit “chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost“.

All browser tabs get reloaded, and you should see your Web API project loaded.

🙂
