When trying to establish a VPN connection to your machine, your browser may show the following prompt. The VPN connection does not work without allowing this.

This can occur in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other browsers.

A similar prompt is the following one in Mozilla Firefox and other browsers: "portal.ixon.cloud wants to access other apps and services on this device".

Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other browsers have implemented or are implementing a new permission prompt for sites that make connections to a user's local network as part of the Local Network Access specification. The aim is to protect users from cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks targeting routers and other devices on private networks, and to reduce the ability of sites to use these requests to fingerprint the user's local network.

This prompt also shows when trying to establish a VPN connection to your machine from inside the IXON Cloud, because the IXON Cloud needs to instruct the VPN Client that is running on your computer to effectively set up the VPN connection.

Local network access needs to be allowed to be able to set up VPN connections to your machines. If you block it, you cannot set up a VPN connection to your machines. If you previously blocked it, you can allow it by clicking the icon left of the website address ( or ) and allowing Local network access.
