Possible security attack on redis

Question

Running the command `redis-server` it returns: `The server is now ready to accept connections on port 6379` Trying to connect in my browser localhost:6379 I get this message: `Possible SECURITY ATTACK detected. It looks like somebody is sending POST or Host: commands to Redis. This is likely due to an attacker attempting to use Cross Protocol Scripting to compromise your Redis instance. Connection aborted. ` Can anyone help me fix this error please?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to use a Redis client to connect to Redis, not your browser. Look at this page for a few https://redis.io/clients, or use `redis-cli`, or even just plain Telnet.
