MS Edge noVNC Connection Timed Out

[eBell]

Edge won't open any noVNC connections when going through my NGINX reverse proxy, but it works on by connecting to the server directly via it's IP address.
xterm.js works fine on Edge behind the reverse proxy.

I have tested it on Firefox and noVNC works perfectly fine behind the reverse proxy.

I have configured the reverse proxy as per the Proxmox wiki:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Web_Interface_Via_Nginx_Proxy
I have also added the "add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;" header to the config.

Attempting to open a noVNC console produces the following error in the Edge console:

1. Failed when connecting: Connection closed (code: 1006) app.js (8763,21)
2. SCRIPT12029: SCRIPT12029: WebSocket Error: Network Error 12029, A connection with the server could not be established

I looked up the 12029 error and it seemed to relate to localhost loop-back prevention, but Edge allows localhost loopback by default now.


I can use PVE through Firefox without issue, I was just wondering if there's a way I can fix it on edge.

noVNC on Edge seems to work when I'm not connected to my local network (I have a local BIND DNS server so I can use my TLDs instead of the IPs)
So maybe it is related to Edge's internal DNS protections, as I know PLEX media server cannot redirect traffic to a local server on Edge due to its internal DNS rebinding protection.

Although I would have assumed that I wouldn't be able to connect to ProxMox at all on my local network if this was the case.
