Please Note before marking this as duplicate: I have already checked and it did not work.

Re-raising this again as my previous post was marked as a duplicate and was closed. The solution provided by the person who marked it as a duplicate did not work.

  1. How do I protect the ports that chromedriver use?

and

  1. chromedriver Only local connections are allowed

Here is the message that I get when I try to run the TestNG.xml

Message: [RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 6.14.3

Starting ChromeDriver 79.0.3945.36 (3582db32b3339e8f4d9ed1816f143-refs/branch-heads/394@14}) on port 14625

Only local connections are allowed.

Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.

Windows 10 OS.

Note that I have already tried the following as per the solution provided in other reported issues in Stackoverflow:

  1. I am using chrome version 79 and not v73.

  2. Downloaded the latest version of the chrome driver for version 79 from this link

  3. Tried workaround.bat with the following text which did not work. C:\p<>\chromedriver.exe --whitelist-ip %*

    The correct way to deal with a duplicate closure that you feel is incorrect is not to post a new question, but to edit your previous one, explain why the duplicate closure is incorrect, add additional information that demonstrates it's not a dupe, and get it reopened. This is covered in the [help] in the [Asking](https://stackoverflow.com/help/reopen-questions) section. – Ken White Dec 04 '19 at 13:18
  • Does this answer your question? [Only local connections are allowed. Protect ports to prevent access by malicious code](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59174613/only-local-connections-are-allowed-protect-ports-to-prevent-access-by-malicious) – Ken White Dec 04 '19 at 13:20
  • Thank you for the help center links. The other link that you have shared is my own question which was marked as duplicate. I have already updated my previous question with all the details. But looks like, the person who marked it as a duplicate is more interested in diverting users to his solution even though I have clearly mentioned that those steps have been followed. – Ravindra Joisa Dec 04 '19 at 14:16
  • Yes, I'm aware it's yours. You need to delete this one and edit that one instead, as I described above and as the links in the [help] describe, exactly as I stated in my previous comment. You *cannot* post a new question instead of properly addressing the old one, as is clearly indicated in the help center. – Ken White Dec 04 '19 at 17:38
