Can't reach Google

[vico1959]

Strange problem and I am too tired and hungry tonight to be able to figure it out after a long day of working. Hopefully some of you smarter people than me can chime in and help me. The scenario is this: I updated from 22.7.4 to 22.7.5 earlier this evening. After that I could not reach Google searches at all nor google.com. It gives me an ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED error. I reverted back to 22.7.4 and reloaded my last auto backup of the system from Sep. 21 2022. I still cannot reach anything Google search related. I have tried turning off the Web Proxy completely and bypassing it in the firewall rules and everything I can think of at the moment and nothing seems to work. It is not a DNS issue as far as I can tell because I can ping the URL all day long. Something is glitching or misconfigured somewhere but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. I remember having this same or a very like issue when I first started piping SSL through the web proxy but that has been a long time ago now and I can't remember how I solved it back then. Please help me with your marvelous ideas. Thanks a bunch in advance.
