From Non-compliant Networks (2-FA)

Accessing VSCode from Non-Brown compliant networks

This guide is only for users connecting from Non-Brown Compliant Networks. 2-FA is mandatory.
1.Install the Remote Development extension pack for VSCode
2.Open VSCode settings 
On Windows/Linux - File > Preferences > Settings
On macOS - Code > Preferences > Settings
Search for symlink and make sure the symlink searching is unchecked
3. Under VSCode settings, search for remote ssh timeout and manually enter a timeout value i.e. 50s. It should give you enough time to complete 2-Factor Authentication.
4. Edit the ~/.ssh/config file on your local machine, add the following lines. Replace <username> with your Oscar username.
# Jump box with public IP address
Host jump-box
  HostName ssh8.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 login-node
