Microsoft Edge cannot reach VM with private IP

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?

I'm running the latest win 10 V 1809 build 17763.253.

I have checked several threads that don't show any solution, but I found one thread with a workaround by adding the local IP range to the trusted sites, it works for me.

Second workaround is using the server name instead of the IP address.

Example: http://Computer-name/ which gets resolved to IP version 6 address.

Since this is bug only happens with MS EDGE and works fine with all other browsers, where is the official MS solution ?

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/]

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.

If your machine with the webserver has internet access you could use a tool like ngrok to create a tunnel with a public URL to your machine.

Go to the start menu and type "Internet Options" Select internet options and open he security tab click on Local Intranet then press the sites button.

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

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

Restart Edge and try again.
