ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED (only in Edge) [MAG]

My localwp was working great (both in Edge browser and Chrome browser) with several websites installed. Updating to the latest version has stopped all websites from working in Edge browser.

When I try to load any of them, Edge browser returns the following error message:

Oops… this page cannot be accessed. It seems that the web page at http://tda.local/ might be having issues or has permanently moved to a new web address.
ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED

To load websites I have to copy and paste the URL into Chrome, but that is a pain and slows down my productivity. How can I fix Edge?

Hi @MAG

Have you tried a good old-fashioned reboot of your machine to start?

Are you using a VPN?

Hello, Nick-B.

Yes, I have tried a complete shutdown of the machine. And I am not using VPN.
In the following image you can see, on Bing on the left, and on Chrome on the right.
Before the last update, localwp worked perfectly on both.

What about clearing out cache and cookies in the browser?

You could also try:

  • Checking for browser updates or reinstalling the browser

  • Try restarting your network or seeing if works when connected to another network

All that was done, my friend. Anyway, Now I did it again (just in case) but, definitely, updating the app was screwed up when updating. In Edge it stopped working. In Chrome, some websites work normally, others work slowly, and others don’t work at all (neither in Edge nor in Chrome). A complete disaster.

Is Edge your primary browser then? Do you have any extensions installed like antivirus, security etc?

For websites that are working slowly, you could take a look through our performance guide here to check for common culprits and troubleshooting tips:

For sites that don’t work at all, what’s happening when you try to open them? Are you getting a specific error message? Blank screen?

Yes, MS Edge is my default browser. When any application “bounces” a browser, it is always Edge. As you can see, none of the extensions of that browser are for firewall or antivirus.

For pages that LocalWP tries to open in Edge, I get this message:

Oops… this page cannot be accessedIt seems that the web page at http://test1.local/ might be having issues or has been permanently moved to a new web address.
ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED

As I’ve said in previous posts, Chrome and Opera don’t get this error.
