I am attempting to create a kubernetes gitlab runner and I encounter the very generic error Failed to register the runner. You may be having network problems. I know gitlab.com is reachable from my hosts, but I need more information to debug the root cause of this issue.
Note the error does continue for 30 attempts each the same as the one below:
