Kaspersky Prevents Https With Self Signed Certificate

Fleeting

I was helping a colleague setting up a dev web server. We used ory to provide the authentication/authorization layer and were writing a SPA, so we could not use localhost as uri for the server. We used localtest.me and added it in the custom domains allowed origins of ory.

We were faced to this situations.

  1. the few first connection were ok
  2. then the browser reported a connection reset

We changed localtest.me to something else, like lvh.me, and it worked again a few times before stopping.

We suppose that kaspersky finds out that something is wrong (as far as it is concerned) here and blocks the connection.

There were a few related issues in the past.

Unfortunately, the colleague does not have administrator privileges and therefore could not add an exception for localtest.me.
