I'm trying to connect to my local node using the --unsafe-rpc-external --unsafe-ws-external flags when running the node. I can connect to the node through a node.js script, but not from a browser because the connection keeps getting refused.

enter image description here

Am I missing something here?

  • Try adding --rpc-cors all. If you are running in --dev mode the default is to allow all origins.

Try adding --rpc-cors all. If you are running in --dev mode the default is to allow all origins.

If you view the node executable help (i.e. ./target/release/node-template --help) the output includes:

--rpc-cors <ORIGINS>
  Specify browser Origins allowed to access the HTTP & WS RPC servers.
            
  A comma-separated list of origins (protocol://domain or special `null` value). Value of
  `all` will disable origin validation. Default is to allow localhost and
  <https://polkadot.js.org> origins. When running in --dev mode the default 
  is to allow all origins.
