Why is localhost in this message?
I thought that TestCafe tries to open localhost only when you specify --hostname localhost explicitly (an approach that you propose as a solution). Otherwise, it uses an IP.
Is this behavior specific to the VPN issue (that TestCafe uses localhost by default)?

Otherwise, it uses an IP.
Seems like sometimes TestCafe picks an IP that belongs to the VPN connection (which leads to the aforementioned error).
