Error: VMRC - Failed to initialize SSL session to remote host

Hi,

I have a new macbook pro running High Sierra and i'm unable to use VMRC due to the error: Failed to initialize SSL session to remote host. No problems with webui, just vmrc. ssh is enabled.

My old MBP (running High Sierra also) is still working fine with VMRC to the same hosts (hosts are running 5.5 with the latest 1.29 Web UI)

Both MBPs are on the same network, using the same dns (which has been suggested in other articles might be an issue with the dns resolution).

Does anyone have any ideas what's missing on the new MBP preventing VMRC from initializing?

Thanks.
