Issue with starting the Minikube with VPN, Docker driver and MacOs

[dlminvestments]

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1.complete return from Minikube start command from terminal. Im guessing I should reset the kernel that is used for docker or report the issue to apple. If possible can tech support troubleshoot so that the popup window displays to reset kernel factory settings back to default to initiate a restart for docker. Heres the response I receive from the Minikube start command ==>(check line 2)

2. minikube start
   😄 minikube v1.23.0 on Darwin 11.5.1 (arm64)
   ✨ Using the docker driver based on existing profile

3. Ive tried deleting and replacing the docker file to restart docker but receive the same response when trying to restart Minikube. need some additional tech support to troubleshoot this issue...

Run minikube logs --file=logs.txt and drag and drop the log file into this issue

Full output of failed command if not minikube start:

@dlminvestments in china?

eastern time zone

[yxxhero]

@dlminvestments try docker pull gcr.io/k8s-minikube/kicbase:v0.0.26

[dlminvestments]

I have the image on docker but still refuses connect ==> Error response from daemon: Get "https://gcr.io/v2/": Bad Request
I've tried pretty much everything I've installed daemon tools it fails to connect the registry I tried running vms through virtual box its refusing connects there. the only thing I have access to are self built processes that run through my self develop software. all other applications are failing. the step I haven't done yet is report the kernel issue to apple so that it can reset but I don't know how to do that if the screen doesn't display. I need to reset the kernel to pull images to at least install Minikube

[yxxhero]

@dlminvestments try recreate minikube by the follow cmd:

# prune images

minikube delete
docker system prune
minikube start

Hi, @dlminvestments,
which hardware are you using? because I see from your output Darwin 11.6 (arm64).

[dlminvestments]

Correct I tried installing Ubuntu and centos 9 but the virtual machine has been disabled. Access is being refused so I’m using a local hardware stored on my hard drive

[spowelljr]

Hi @dlminvestments, are you behind a VPN or firewall? Is this a corporate machine or a personal machine?

[dlminvestments]

I actually have both a vpn and a firewall setup. Currently it's a virtual machine but the IT department is talking with vendors and myself to incorporate the security system for corporate. I work as a freelance & I'm looking for contractual work from companies that need inbuilt or added layers of security for their Infrastructure & private servers

[medyagh]

@dlminvestments is there way we could replicate your VPN setup ?

@sharifelgamal is interested in making VPN experience with minikube better but we dont have a way to replicate the issue, is if you are willing, please hit him up on slack or here to share info, so maybe there is something minikube could do

meanwhile can u plz attach this file to this issue

minikube logs --file=logs.txt

[dlminvestments]

The VPN was setup through Cloudflare. I can do two things I can either grant you access to teams.cloudflare.com or I can securely allow you to connect through an open port. You can use my subnet mask and IP address which then would request or ask to allow the connect to pass through a tcp.

here’s a link to slack & we can discuss more details there

I unlocked the firewall so I believe it would allow automatic connections. You can try again a popup window would show and I can allow the connection through a tcp if you have a proxy to peer the connection. but yeah I unlocked the firewall manually so give it a try if that doesn't work then message. I have other policies in place my DNS and network policy so just message me on slack.
