Localhost not working - following "hello world" HS videos

[SMCNULTY]

Greetings,

   I have followed the first 4 videos here:

https://app.hubspot.com/academy/20026003/tracks/71/592/4728 

I have Visual Studio code, node.js installed, all supporting packages installed and code example done/working.  I have the terminal window listening on http://localhost:3000 and tried  http://localhost:3000/contacts (per the example above) but, I believe due to being on a work computer or LAN, I cannot for the life of me connect to local host in a browser.  I've googled and tried all the usual fixes.  I have edge/chrome and work IT has settings in both pretty locked down. I can't go in and change anything.  I also cannot disable my firewall, even temporarily.

   Can I get some help on an alternate way to test up to where I am right now? (besides localhost/browser window) Can I see the output somewere in "Visual Studio Code" ?

Hi, @SMCNULTY 👋 I don't have a workaround from my end. Let's see if the community has any other ideads for you.

Best,
