After install, I cannot navigate to ANY of the 23 WP Engine sites.
Description
I installed Local and pulled 1 site locally.
Now I get 403 Forbidden errors on ALL the sites on WP Engine, after connecting.
This happens for ALL our WP Engine sites, even though I’m only working on 1 site.
Replication
I had an existing server running and built on my machine using the EXISTING Apache from OSX, and installing PHP (brew), Certificate + CA, and MySQL (brew).
I did click the localhost checkbox in LocalWP. I have since Uninstalled LocalPM to try to remove this issue.
System Details
This is on OSX 12.5.1 - Monterey.

My guess is that this is something in the hosts file. But which hosts file? and how do I fix this?
I tried uninstalling LocalWP and it STILL did not remove the configuration that caused this.
How do I remove this configuration, and get browser access to the remote sites again?
Hello @WPSuperheroes - thank you for bringing your question the Local community.
Can you clarify, when you say you get a 403 Forbidden error on all the sites you have on WP Engine, are these live sites? Can you provide an example so I can see what you see?
Have you checked the default MacOS hosts file in /etc/hosts? Are there entries for the WPE sites in there?
What are you seeing in the Network tab of the browser’s dev tools when you try to connect to the front-end of a site (like mariasplace.com)? Is it trying to hit the correct IP address, or a local IP address?
