Microsoft Edge cannot reach VM with private IP

Question

I have a webserver running in an VM (VirtualBox, configured with vagrant) which is assigned the private ip 10.0.0.20. I can reach the webserver with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge. I have activated Allow Localhost Loopback in about:flags.

Does anybody what could be the problem?

Answer 1

Not sure about the root cause of the problem, but here are some options to work around this:

1. Configure VM Networking to be Bridged rather than NAT;

2. Use a proxy, e.g. Fiddler;

3. Port forward, using netsh, ssh or other utilities.

For option 2 and 3, see this answer for details.

Answer 2

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

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