Please help, i would really appreciate it, its my first time on the launcher and this is what i get when i try to log in, I have litterally been looking for a fix for like 2 hours.

Sorry, but we couldnt connect to our servers.

Please make sure that you are online and that minecraft is not blocked.

(ConnectException: Connection refused: connect)

Check your Internet connection, and make sure that your computer allows Minecraft

I am going to assume you are using windows and it depends on if you have admin rights or not.

1) hold windows key and press r
2) type in firewall.cpl and hit enter
3) click allow an app or feature through windows firewall
4) click change settings
5) click allow another app...
6) click browse and locate your minecraft.exe
7) click open
8) click add and that should be done

If you don't have administrator access, get it...
