Docker machine timeout - how to fix without destroying the machine?

Question

I\'m having a recurring problem with Docker Machine - every few days it decides to timeout and I am unable to recover it once this happens.

Example

Answer 1

Check if you are are using a proxy or VPN!

None of the above suggestions worked for me until I turned off my VPN and suddenly:

docker-machine.exe ls
NAME      ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER     ERRORS
default   *        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.102:2376           v19.03.5
