Local Network Issue

macOS 15 Sequoia introduced a new security feature called Local Network Privacy, which blocks apps from accessing the local network by default until you manually grant them permission.

If localhost can’t connect to your container port, Licobox may not have network permission yet. We use a local virtual network to establish the connection.

Fix

Option 1: Allow local network access in System Settings

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network.
2. Make sure Licobox is enabled.

Note

In some cases, you may need to restart your Mac a few times or boot into Safe Mode to get the app to appear. This is a known issue with macOS.

Option 2: Start Licobox from a terminal

If the container port is still unreachable, manually start Licobox using a terminal app, and keep the terminal open

1. Open the Terminal app.
2. Run:

licobox start

3. Try accessing your container’s port again.

Note

You can also use other terminal apps like Ghostty or iTerm2, but you may need to allow local network access for them in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network.
