3\. Under VSCode settings, search for <mark style="color:blue;">remote ssh timeout</mark> and manually enter a timeout value i.e. <mark style="color:blue;">50s</mark>. It should give you enough time to complete 2-Factor Authentication.

  HostName ssh.ccv.brown.edu
  User <username>
# Target machine with private IP address
Host ccv-vscode-node
  HostName vscode1
  User <username>
  ProxyCommand ssh -q -W %h:%p jump-box
```

6\. In VSCode, select  **Remote-SSH: Connect to Host…** and after the list populates select `ccv-vscode-node`&#x20;
