NESSUS NOT WORKING WITH LOCALHOST IN WINDOWS

IF YOU ACCIDENTELY CHANGED THE LISTEN ADDRESS IN SETTINGS --> ADVANCED --> LISTEN_ADDRESS --> 0.0.0.0 TO ANY OTHER THEN IT WILL NOT SHOW WITH FOLLOWING URL...

https://localhost:8834

IF YOU WANT TO RESET IT TO LOCALHOST THEN FOLLOW BELOW STEPS

1. Run CMD as an administrator

2. cd c:\program files\tenanble\nessus\

3. C:\Program Files\Tenable\Nessus>nessusd.exe -a 127.0.0.1

it will load nessus and all plugins to access through local host

open client url (https://localhost:8834) and go to settings.--> advanced --> listen_address --> set it to 0.0.0.0



then you can access it with
https://localhost:8834
