We will guide you on how to use ASTx due to the browser settings changed in Chrome 145.

Changing Features

In Chrome 145 / Edge 146 versions, permissions for access to local networks have been subdivided into Local Network access and Loopback_network access for enhanced security.

ASTx (AhnLab Safe Transaction) communicates Loopback_network with the website to verify the product's normal operating status, so Chrome 145 / Edge 146 displays notifications about Loopback_network local network connection when using related sites. However, if you already allow local network access on Chrome 144 / Edge 145 or below, that setting will be transferred and you can use it without additional notifications. 

For Chrome versions 141~144 / Edge 141~145, please allow local network permissions as before.
