Bitcoin RPC connection keeps failing

Im trying to get an RPC connection to my bitcoin core to work, but no matter what I try, it keeps failing.

I'm running Win 10 and have bitcoin core qt V0.21 running. I have tried several options to get the RPC connection to work. I tried several docker container like btc-rpc-explorer but those keep on failing with a ECONNREFUSED error. Worried about some IP problem with docker, I also tried running different python scripts (like this on: https://pypi.org/project/bitcoinrpc/) but that also gives an exception indicating that no rpc connection is possible.

So, it must be my bitcore node then, right? So I tried many different bitcoin.conf configurations without luck. My latest:

server=1
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcbind=0.0.0.0
rpcport=8332
rpcuser=myuser
rpcpass=mypass
txindex=1

Just trying to open it up as much as possible.

I also tried running bitcoind on commandline in stead of bitcoin-qt gui. The commandline output shows me that it takes the correct bitcoin.conf file. So thats okay. But what is wrong???

If you are doing your rpc calls within localhost this conf file should be enough. I would bind to 0.0.0.0 only if you need to query from an external ip. rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0 is also insecure
