OpenShift CRC not reachable

Hi Everyone,

After setting up crc start I got the below error , I think it has something to do with ssh key but I really couldn't figure it out.
Appreciate your help.

This looks like nested virt setup which we don't test https://github.com/crc-org/crc/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Anested-virt , what is the reason you are not using the host OS ?
