Hi, Today I launched VS Code, and copilot told me this: "Extension activation failed: "connect ETIMEDOUT 140.82.121.5:443"
I have no proxy, no firewall, no VPN. How to do?

Hi @itimoreo ,

I suspect this may be related to the deprecation of Copilot Chat API endpoints so please review if you haven't so far:

To ensure Copilot Chat continues working, please update to the most recent version of the Copilot extension and ensure your firewall and network settings allow communication to https://api.githubcopilot.com.

Additionally, the error ETIMEDOUT typically occurs when you're using a program that intercepts network connections, even if there are no problems with the network itself. Please note that GitHub Copilot may reject some custom certificates. For more information, see Troubleshooting certificate-related errors.

Let us know if that helps.

I have followed the recommended steps to troubleshoot the persistent ETIMEDOUT errors I've been experiencing with the GitHub Copilot extension in Visual Studio Code, but unfortunately, the issue remains unresolved. To summarize the steps I've taken:

GitHub Copilot Update: I have ensured that the GitHub Copilot extension is up to date.
Firewall Configuration: I have verified that Visual Studio Code is allowed through the Windows Firewall for both private and public networks.
Internet Properties SSL/TLS Settings: I have checked the SSL and TLS settings in the Internet Properties, ensuring that the recommended options are selected (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3).
Despite these, I am still facing connectivity issues with the GitHub Copilot extension. There are no active VPNs, proxies, antivirus software, or enterprise-grade firewalls that could be interfering with the connection.

Could there be any other underlying factors that might cause these timeout errors?

Also I tried to Uninstall et Re-install VS Code.

Same problem here guys...

[andrefelipe18]

Guys... I opened vscode and the copilot still didn't work, but I left it open for a while and went out to do other things, and when I came back to the computer the copilot had started by itself
