My Windows 7 desktop recently started refusing https connections in a lot of applications, e.g Firefox works fine but IE9 can't visit an https page. Since I only tend to use the effected applications intermittently I can't pinpoint the exact time the issue started except that it began within the last week.
Fiddler claims the traffic is going through a tunnel which makes me think it's probably related to an update of Virtual Box. I have tried
- Repairing Virtual Box
- Uninstalling Virtual Box
- Turning off all firewalls
- Removing tunnel adapters as in this question
- Changing proxy settings in the Internet Options to Automatic (they reset back to "Use proxy server" on restart, I have no proxy set up)
- Ran a virus scan using a paid version of Avira already installed and with up-to-date definitions.
- My laptop is working fine so my connection beyond the borders of my box is working as expected.
I am out of ideas. Is there anything else I can try?
Edit Added 6 & 7. The issue is with the host machine, I included the Virtual Box tag only because its update might have been the source of the issue. Here is what ipconfig /all
has to say with Virtual Box installed.
