Purpleroses 21 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I noticed under network connections this address 127.0.0.1 listening under some of my connections. Is this normal behavior and do I need to worry about anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eset firewall proxy's network traffic using localhost. Also svchost.exe - IP Helper service uses 127.0.0.1. Finally, Firefox also uses 127.0.0.1 to proxy network traffic.

Purpleroses 21 Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 Thank you itman. That is where I see it. I also see it under Nvidia web helper .exe and nvcontainer.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen 127.0.0.1 used in conjunction with nvcontainer.exe. Suspect that has something to do with GeForce Experience running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
