On prem k8s cluster set up with bastion vm

1. Create a bastion vm in your data center or in cloud with connectivity set up (usually vpn) to the on prem data center.
2. Install tinyproxy on the bastion vm and pick a random port as it would be too easy for spam bot with default 8888, set up as systemd service according to https://nxnjz.net/2019/10/how-to-setup-a-simple-proxy-server-with-tinyproxy-debian-10-buster/. Make sure it works by validating with curl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:<tinyproxy-port> https://httpbin.org/ip. And I don't use any user authentication for proxy, so I locked down the firewall rules with my laptop IP/32.
3. Download the kubeconfig file for the k8s cluster to your laptop
4. From your laptop, run

HTTPS_PROXY=<bastion-external-ip>:<tinyproxy-port> KUBECONFIG=my-kubeconfig kubectl get nodes
