Local VM (Lima) unable to open Plugins/Settings page

For my local setup, I moved away from Parallels to using the new recommended approach of using Lima. I stumbled upon different roadblocks for the transition and now am stuck at the last one (I hope). Everytime I try to access the Plugin/Settings page in the admin page, it says the following

wp_update_plugins(): An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server&#8217;s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/forums/">support forums</a>. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.)

I’ve tried pinging api.wordpress.org manually from the vm with trellis vm shell, and got a response back. I am unsure how to resolve this. Thank you!

I do have a company VPN running, I’ve tried disabling it, no luck unfortunately

I did a DB export → import to my local DB from my staging env. I did change my local DB site and home url to the local proxy url, still no luck

Checking the trace logs from Bedrock, it seems that my setup thinks that I have ssl supported locally? This might be the culprit

    $url      = 'http://api.wordpress.org/plugins/update-check/1.1/';
	$http_url = $url;
	$ssl      = wp_http_supports( array( 'ssl' ) );

	if ( $ssl ) {
		$url = set_url_scheme( $url, 'https' );
	}

	$raw_response = wp_remote_post( $url, $options );

	if ( $ssl && is_wp_error( $raw_response ) ) {
