Connect to mac using proxy

Question

Is there a way to use a proxy when making an SSH connection to a mac from Visual Studio? Our setup is such that we use a ProxyCommand in our SSH config on the client machine in order to successfully connect to our mac via a CloudFlare tunnel. This works perfectly well for SSH.exe, however, based on the stack trace of the error Visual Studio throws when attempting the connection, Visual Studio is using the SSH.Net library to make the connection and it appears that the ProxyCommand is not taken into account.

Hello,

There is no such feature, please see Pair to Mac for Xamarin.iOS Development - Xamarin | Microsoft Learn (Xamarin is near the end of its lifecycle, you can see Pair to Mac for iOS development - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn)

For this, you could send feedback and suggest a new feature with VS, see Report a problem with Visual Studio - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn

Best Regards,
