[SOLVED] Cannot access the web-ui from Chrome, but other browsers work (is unreachable.ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE)

It used to work but suddenly doesnt work. "https://192.168.1.220:8006/" is the address, and like I mentioned, it works if I use safari on the same device.
Facts:
1. Other local network device services are reachable from chrome in this same device (so it rules out any "local network - chrome" issue)
2. I can ping / ssh from this machine to proxmox just fine (so it rules out any network issues between my device and proxmox)
3. Safari on this same device, loads the web-ui with no problem (so it rules out any browser-specific network issues between this device and proxmox)
4. I recently migrated my data from a macbook pro to a macOS VM (the device in question), but Im pretty sure I visited the proxmox UI several times since then (migrated like a week ago), and only like 2 days ago did this issue begin

Ill leave this up since I found many threads with the same issue. I tried many things including removing unused extensions, and I think more importantly, when visiting the page and seeing the "is unreachable.ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE" error, I clicked on the button on the left side of the chrome address bar (where it shows things like "this site is secure" etc) and clicked the box that says something like "see site settings" or something to that effect, and in there it had a "reset all site settings / permissions" option. I also cleared the DNS cache for that site by entering my url at chrome://net-internals/#dns . Doing these didnt fix it immediately, but when I quit chrome and reopened, it now works, so it was one of these things I tried.
