<p>I am trying to configure Kubernetes on docker-for-desktops and I want to change the default network assigned to containers. </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Example: the default network is <code>10.1.0.0/16</code> but I want <code>172.16.0.0/16</code>. </p>
</blockquote>

<p>I changed the docker network section to <code>Subnet address:  172.16.0.0 and netmask 255.255.0.0</code> but the cluster keeps assigning the network 10.1.0.0/16.

<p>The problem I am facing here is that I am in a VPN which has the same network IP of kubernetes default network (<code>10.1.0.0/16</code>) so if I try to ping a host that is under the vpn, the container from which I am doing the ping keeps saying <code>Destination Host Unreachable</code>.</p>

<p>I am running Docker Desktop (under Windows Pro) Version 2.0.0.0-win81 (29211) Channel: stable Build: 4271b9e.</p>

<p>Kubernetes is provided from Docker desktop <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xshra.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xshra.png" alt="Kuberbetes"></a></p>

<p>From the official <a href="https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/kubernetes/" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a> I know that </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Kubernetes is available in Docker for Windows 18.02 CE Edge and higher, and 18.06 Stable and higher , this includes a standalone Kubernetes server and client, as well as Docker CLI integration. The Kubernetes server runs locally within your Docker instance, <strong>is not configurable</strong>, and is a single-node cluster</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Said so, should Kubernetes  use the underlying docker's configuration (like network, volumes etc.)?</p>

<p>On Windows, edit this file for a permanent fix:</p>
<pre><code>%AppData%\Docker\cni\10-default.conflist
</code></pre>
