Github is stuck on Setting up remote connection, when connecting trying to use VPN

I'm having issues to login to GitHub codespaces when using work VPN, when i disconnect the VPN it works fine, is there any way to make it work while connected to VPN.

Hi @Tareqkhaled1998 , please try these steps to narrow the underlying issue:

1. Refresh the Browser:

   • Press F5 or Ctrl+R to refresh the page.

2. Clear Browser Cache:

   • Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try again.

3. Access via VS Code: Try connecting from Visual Studio Code using the GitHub Codespaces extension. If this method works, it suggests that your browser might be blocking the connection.

4. Check Network Connectivity:

   • Ensure your internet connection is stable.

In your Codespaces:

1. Restart Codespace:

   • Go to the Codespaces page on GitHub, find the stuck Codespace, and restart it.

2. Create a New Codespace:

   • Try creating a new Codespace to see if the issue is specific to the current one.

3. Check for Quota Limits:

   • Ensure you haven’t hit any Codespaces quotas or limits.

4. Check Browser Console Errors:

   • Open the browser’s developer console (F12) and look for error messages.

Also, share me the screenshots of the error you are getting while trying to connect through VScode. 

Thanks!
