<p>I got Kubernetes Minikube on my laptop (4cores, 8 GB RAM). I just performed the basic installation steps (got <em>miniKube</em> and <em>kubectl</em>, enabled the BIOS virtualization) and I am able to start the cluster:</p>

<pre><code>C:\Users\me&gt;minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes cluster...
Starting VM...
SSH-ing files into VM...
Setting up certs...
Starting cluster components...
Connecting to cluster...
Setting up kubeconfig...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
</code></pre>

<p>However, when I try to interact with the cluster, I allways get the same error, sample:</p>

<pre><code>C:\Users\me&gt;kubectl get pods --context=minikube
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 192.168.99.100:8443: connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party
did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
</code></pre>

<p>I execute <code>minikube ip</code> and I ping the result IP and I get a response. Also I tried to give more memory (3Gb vs the standard 2Gb) and nothing changed.</p>

<p>Am I doing something wrong here?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I had same issue as above. I found out that <code>kubectl</code> couldn't connect to the cluster and would throw up the error when i'm on a VPN connection. When I turned off my VPN client, it started working as fine. </p>
