yeah, no rules defined I'm afraid. The servers are behind a VPN.
However, the timeouts begin immediately after upgrading the previously working v1.0.3 task to 1.2.0. It consistently fails, so not an intermittent issue either by looks of it.
Might there be some useful logging I could pull from the github runner? I could capture and write out as artefacts for review.
Having the same issue. Always times out regardless of configuration. Using private key with passphrase.
Also, as seen below, when using 1.0.3, the action gets to the point where it pulls down the SSH dependency and seems to run the command, but it always times out there as well. I've not gotten this action to finish successfully with any configuration/setup.

I get the same error. Is there a solution at the moment?
Yes. Use a private key without a passphrase and it works just fine. I never could get it to work with a passphrase.

Yes. Use a certificate without a passphrase and it works just fine. I never could get it to work with a passphrase.
What do you mean by "certificate"?

My apologies for not being more clear. I meant to say a private key. I'll edit my original response.
