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

Solution: Get your Chrome Browser version and download the ChromeDriver for specific to that version.

Open your Chrome browser > Click on 3 vertical dots (top right corner) > Help > About Google Chrome

Verify the Chrome Version (such as 73 or 74 or other ..)

goto Selenium browser driver download portal and download the Chrome Driver of that version

I could not pass any parameters to chromedriver from p@gc - Chrome Driver Config directly, my config looks like:

chromedriver config

where my chromedriver.dir was chromedirver.dir=vu.chromedriver.dir=/path/to/chromedriver However, I was able to work around it by adding:

workaround.sh for macOS

#!/usr/bin/env bash /path/to/chromedriver --whitelist-ip $*
workaround.bat for Windows

\\src\\path\\to\\chromedriver.exe --whitelist-ip %*

And that solved my issue for making chromedriver to accept remote connections.
