I'm trying to use localhost/users/auth/google_oauth2/callback as the redirect uri, but I keep getting An error occured while connecting to the server: DNS lookup failed for URL: http://localhost/users/auth/google_oauth2/callback

The trick here is to set http://localhost/users/auth/google_oauth2/callback inside the API web interface as one of the redirect URLs. The client side is what gets redirected, so it has nothing to do with the network. Beginner mistake, so hopefully if you're reading this I saved you a headache :)
