When authenticating ssh using this documentation; the following error is returned. 

I have tried everything but unable to proceed any further.

Hi Amandeep,

Welcome to the community!

The error message:

ssh_dispatch_run_fatal: Connection to 104.192.142.24 port 22: Operation timed out

suggests that the SSH connection is being blocked or unable to reach Bitbucket Cloud Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1.  Check Network Restrictions:

• Are you behind a corporate firewall, VPN, or proxy that might be blocking SSH traffic?
• Try running the following to check if port 22 is accessible:

• telnet bitbucket.org 22 

• nc -zv bitbucket.org 22

2. Try SSH over HTTPS (Port 443):

• If port 22 is blocked, you can configure SSH to use port 443 (typically used for HTTPS).
• Reference - Port 22 is blocked on local network

3. Verify SSH Key Setup

• Run the following command to test your SSH connection:

• ssh -T git@bitbucket.org

4. Check Local SSH Configuration:

• Run the following for a detailed debug log:

• ssh -vvv git@bitbucket.org

• This may provide insights into the issue.

5. Restart SSH Agent:

• Run the following commands:

• eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
  
  ssh-add ~/.ssh/<YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_NAME>

• Then, retry the SSH connection.

Hopefully theses step help you get to the bottom of the issue. 

Cheers,

- Phil
