"Downloading source from GitHub" in SSH session causes disconnect

[TheOnly8Z]

I am using the SSH extension to connect to a Windows server. Whenever I save, a prompt pops up that shows the aforementioned message. Shortly after, with the progress never moving beyond 0%, it disconnects the session and prompts "Cannot reconnect. Please reload the window".

The server is located in China and is likely unable to connect to GitHub directly. I am unsure whether this is the cause for this issue, however.
