How do I fix not allowed to load local resource?

1. Change to Public DNS

2. On the left pane, click on Network & Internet, then scroll down and select Advanced network settings on the right pane.
   
3. In the Related settings section, click on More network adapter options.
   
4. Right-click on your adapter and select Properties.
   
5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), then click the Properties button.
   
6. Under the section for Preferred DNS server, type 8.8.8.8, and for the Alternate DNS server section, type 8.8.4.4, tick Validate settings upon exit and hit OK.
   
7. Relaunch your browser and try re-accessing the resource.

Updating your network setting’s DNS servers is a simple solution to this problem. For example, you may use any publicly accessible DNS servers on the internet.

Lastly, consistently utilize recognized and trusted server addresses when resolving domains for security reasons.

2. Install the Web Server for Chrome extension

2. Click on the Add to Chrome button.
   
3. Select the CHOOSE FOLDER button, and select the folder where your project is located.

3. Clear your DNS host cache

   chrome://net-internals/#dns
2. Click the button to Clear host cache.
   
3. Relaunch your browser and try re-accessing the resource.

When you browse the same domain repeatedly, Chrome employs DNS caching to speed up the site’s loading by mapping IP addresses from the cache.

Unfortunately, due to variances in IP addresses, Chrome DNS caching may create delays in loading the webpage when website admins change IP addresses. This is a good fix if your error is caused by JavaScript not allowed to load local resources.

You should have successfully resolved the error of Chrome not allowed to load local resources. Please note that these solutions are not in any particular order, and you should try whichever seems the easiest to implement.
