Accessing external address from vm

A long running issue with minikube here https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/6296

when it creates a vm it cant get out This VM is having trouble accessing https://k8s.gcr.io

I should state like some of the users posting I dont have a vpn and get the issue. As the issue has been ongoing with them for 2 years with the suggestion to just use docker driver, hoping someone here may have an idea what could be causing it?
