### Known Issue: k9s cannot resolve host name through VPN

When connected to VPN, k9s might not be able to resolve private host names.

This happens when k9s is installed via Homebrew, where Cgo is disabled by default.

To overcome this, we can compile and install k9s from source using `go install`.
