fatal: unable to access 'https://dev.azure.com/xxx': OpenSSL SSL_connect: Connection was reset in connection to dev.azure.com:443

Question

I've been working with a repo in Azure for months without any issue, but recently started getting this error intermittently when I try to update my remotes or push/pull:

OpenSSL SSL_connect: Connection was reset in connection to dev.azure.com:443

If I keep retrying, it will eventually work. No idea what is causing this.

Things I've tried:

• Updated Git
• Turned off firewall
• Tried on a different computer with no issues

This seems to have something to do with IPv6 - you can disable it by doing the following:

1. Go to View Network Connections

   

2. Right click on your current network and select Properties

   

3. Deselect IPv6 Internet Prorotcol Version 6
