title: Live reload fails - Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
body: <p>I am starting live reload via Gulp:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var $$ = require('gulp-load-plugins')();
  
  gulp.watch('*', function (file) {
    $$.livereload().changed(file.path);
  });
  
  gulp.task('connect', function(){
    var connect = require('connect');
    return connect()
      .use(require('connect-livereload')())
      .use(connect.static(__dirname))
      .listen(8000);
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It had been working until I recently got this cryptic error in the browser console and reload stopped working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
  http://localhost:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea what happens here?</p>
  
  <p>I am behind proxy but localhost is excluded.</p>
