Remote debugging gdbserver application without wasting time with SSH/etc

Question

Remote debugging gdbserver application without wasting time with SSH/etc

tc 1

SImple question:

Trying to debug an application running on remote machine, which I've started with gdbserver 0.0.0.0:1234 appname

I cannot find any way to just attach to it, without wasting time setting up SSH access (not possible) or other stuff.

How can I JUST DEBUG without wasting time?
I tried doing attach to process -> entering gdb server IP/port in the "remote connection" box but its looking for some msmon stuff:

The Visual Studio 2022 Remote Debugger (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be running on the remote computer. This may be because a firewall is preventing communication to the remote computer. Please see Help for assistance on configuring remote debugging.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. As of this time, however, gdb is not supported. you can go to Developer Community for support.

What do you mean unsupported, visual studio has been advertising remote debugging support since 2015, in 2022 there is even an option to choose gdbserver as debug target, but there's nowhere to enter remote machine IP address
