I am encountering an issue while attempting to connect to my Azure Windows Virtual Machine using SSH within Visual Studio Code (VSCode) with the Remote – SSH extension, running on Windows with the Universal Windows Platform (UTM). The error message I’m receiving is:

The connect to host <host ip> port 22: Connection timed out

This occurs when I try to establish an SSH connection to my Azure VM. I’ve followed the official instructions provided by Visual Studio Code for SSH setup (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh-tutorial), but unfortunately, it hasn’t resolved the issue.

Here are some additional details about my setup and what I’ve tried so far:

• I’m running Windows with the Universal Windows Platform (UTM).
• I have an Azure Windows Virtual Machine that I’m trying to connect to using SSH.
• I’m using Visual Studio Code with the Remote – SSH extension.
• I’ve double-checked the SSH configuration on both the local and remote machines.
• I’ve verified that the SSH service is running on the Azure VM.
• I’ve ensured that the SSH port (22) is open and accessible on the Azure VM.
• I’ve tried connecting from different network environments to rule out network issues.

Despite these efforts, I continue to encounter the “Connection timed out” error.

Can anyone provide guidance on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
