Microsoft Edge Cannot Contact VM Using Private IP

Question

I have a web server running in a virtual machine (VirtualBox configured with a tramp) that is assigned a private ip 10.0.0.20 . I can contact the web server with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge. I activated Allow Localhost Loopback at about: flags.

Can anybody be a problem?

Answer 1

Go to the "Start" menu and enter "Internet Options." Select Internet options and open the Security tab, click Local Intranet, and then click the Sites button.

Control Panel> Internet Options> Security> Local Intranet> Sites

Uncheck the box "enable all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones" and "Enable all sites that bypass the proxy server."

Restart Edge and try again.

Answer 2

If your computer with a web server has Internet access, you can use a tool such as ngrok to create a tunnel with a public URL on your computer.

Answer 3

Not sure about the root cause of the problem, but here are a few options for this:

• Configure the VM network as Bridged rather than NAT;

• Use a proxy , for example. Violinist;

• Redirect using netsh , ssh or other utilities.

For options 2 and 3 see this answer for details.

Answer 4

I have the same problem and I can not find workaroud - even after 2 years. I guess the final answer is: Stop using Edge.

It looks like Microsoft is dropping it: [ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/12/post-mortem-tying-edge-to-windows-10-was-a-fatal-error/]

Answer 5

I am using the latest version of Win 10 V 1809 build 17763.253.

I checked several streams that show no solution, but I found one thread with a workaround, adding a local range of IP addresses to trusted sites, it works for me.

The second workaround is to use the server name instead of the IP address.

Example: http: // Computer-name /, which resolves to version 6 IP address.

Since this error only occurs in MS EDGE and works great in all other browsers, where is the official MS solution?
