Hello,
I hope that someone might help me with this situation:
I use vagrant box (laravel/homestead) for local development which maps ports 80/443 for apache/nginx server from within the box. I have no issues at starting this vagrant virtual machine. Some time passes - and it seems I cannot access previously available websites from within the box. The only thing that has changed recently - my antivirus software: I've started using BitDefender Total Security.
I bilieve that this is the cause for this issue. So I've tried a lot of things:
- Added VirtualBox all .exe processes as "Trusted" and exceptions from real time scanning
- Added all Vagrant .exe processes as exceptions (same as for VirtualBox)
- Reviewed firewall rules, that it should give both UDP/TCP access for both VirtualBox/Vagrant
- Tried disabling AV/Firewall while working with VM
- Playing with different settings in BitDefender
- Googling for any similar situation
This didn't help...
Am I missing something? Is there any procedure/proper way in setting vagrant with AV/Firewall?
And the funny thing is - on another PC running ESET NOD32 I have the same problem! The main difference is that I cannot access websites from the vagrant box at all (the virtual machine starts without any errors, I can ssh into it as well, but websites which should be available cannot be accessed)
In both cases I get the same message from web browser - access is blocked due to firewall.
So my main question is really simple: what would be a proper action in my case? How should I setup my development environment with vagrant while I'm still protected with AV/Firewall? Any advice help would be really appreciated!
