I have a python application using Slack API though slackclient lib. I works fine on a docker image. But then I created a deployment to Kubernetes and stated the application on Minikube. It just can't connect to the internet to get the Slack messages.

I am not using any K8S Services since I don't need to expose anything from my service, just call the Slack service already exposed on the internet.

What I need to do to enable that connection?
