Auth-api: auth with api key failed return nil response

Hello all,
On all my Debian 11 and 12 Servers, I have this in :
/var/log/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer.log

time="2025-03-11T06:29:09+01:00" level=error msg="auth-api: auth with api key failed return nil response, error: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused"
time="2025-03-11T06:29:09+01:00" level=error msg="Get \"http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/decisions/stream?\": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused"

But :

netstat -anp | grep 8080
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8080          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3752/crowdsec

And :

telnet 127.0.0.1 8080 
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

How can I correct this ?
Thanks much.

Hi,
