Network problems as soon as I updated to 10.15.6
As soon as I updated my 2019 Macbook Pro 15in to OSX 10.15.6 I am unable to access the internet in ANY APP (Any browsers, maps, app store, discord, and the like) outside of Safe Mode, which is why I am able to write this post, I booted my mac into Safe Mode. Offline apps work fine.
I might add for some bazaar reason chrome lets me watch YouTube videos and even search Google (I can't click results though), but every other site gives me the "[Website] unexpectedly closed the connection (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED" with Safari giving me a similar error Safari can't establish a secure connection."
When I attempted to access the update screen in system preferences it said "SSL Error"
Is there something wrong with my certificates?
I tried resetting my network settings, disabling log in items, rebooting my mac, checking activity monitor for anything weird, and searching the internet. Nothing has helped. This was not a problem until I updated to 10.15.6. They said in the patch notes that they added some security fixes, could this have something to do with it?
My router is fine, I have a stable, fast internet connection.
I did see something popup upon updating my mac. It said something like "Legacy extension from PACEAP" which I googled and it is a virus protection service; however, I do not recall installing any thing of that sort. Malware?
Also, why does safe mode work and not the normal booting?
Please help.
Thanks,
Gabe
