There are a few things you can check here to see if they resolve this:
- Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local? If so, can you try temporarily disabling them or see if they have a setting that will “allow” Local to proceed?
- Can you check if your Hosts File is read only? Help! I’m running into an EPERM error with the hosts file on Windows
- Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example.
