I am getting the following error when I try to connect to a Minecraft server:
This is all servers, not just one.
The error says:
io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information:
Version 1.12
I've tried:
- Restarting Minecraft
- Restarting Computer
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling Mincraft
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling Java
- Altering Firewall
- Restarting Internet
- I've messed with my port, made a second windows account, reset netsh winsock
- Checked hosts
- Made a new WINDOWS account
The overlay in the bottom right is Geforce's Overlay for game capturing. I don't have any mods installed.
A Mojang support ticket wouldn't help. Im desperate.

I have the same error on my local network, it looks like a firewall issue on the host/server side. For me, to troubleshoot I used nmap. The LAN game showed up in multiplayer as 10.0.0.21:49299. nmap reported that port from that IP as closed/filtered; i.e. a firewall issue.
To confirm it is a firewall issue, turn off the firewall (momentarily). See if you're able to connect while the firewall is disabled.
