Trouble launching my POC of Test Data Manager GUI

Im trying to install the TDM GUI on a Windows Server 2022 VM.
After some trial and error, I got the TDM Service running, and it looks like the SQL Server Database I provisioned has the tables created.
But, I cant figure out how to navigate to the Web App.
I'm trying "http://localhost" in the browser, but I get "refused to connect"
I should mention that we use Zscaler which is a nightmare for devs, so it could be something on my end.
This is my Kestral Config
FYI: I left all info in config about "Identity Provider's authorization server" because I dont really know how to configure that.
My main goal is play with the Data Masking tool, I may just end up using the command line for that. However, I wanted to see the GUI.

Thanks for reaching out about TDM. Could you confirm that the Redgate Test Data Manager service is running on your Windows Server 2022 VM? You can verify this by opening the Services application (
services.msc
) and ensuring the service status is set to "Running."Additionally, could you check if any other applications are configured to listen on ports 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS)? This might help identify any potential conflicts. Ensure that Zscaler is configured to allow traffic on the necessary ports (80 and 443) and that it isn't blocking localhost connections.
