Watchguard Mobile SSL VPN error "Cannot perform http request 12029"

Watchguard Mobile SSL VPN error "Cannot perform http request 12029"

When using the Watchguard Mobile VPN Client with SSL, you may not be able to connect and see the following entry in the Watchguard log:

"FAILED: Cannot perform http request 12029
failed to get domain name"

This occurs if you have Internet Explorer or Edge as your default browser and are using SSL 2.0 or 3.0 security protocols. To resolve this issue:

1. Change your default browser to something other than IE or Edge
2. If you are going to keep IE or Edge as your default browser, go to Tools > Internet Options > Click the Advanced Tab > Scroll down to the security protocols and uncheck SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 and check all TLS security protocols > Click Ok > Close the browswer

Now connect to your VPN using the Watchguard client.
