Another "you have not yet finished authorizing this extension to use github" issue

從 Output/GitHub Authentication log 開始，重現為複製私人儲存庫所描述的瀏覽器登入流程。比較所列 VS Code、macOS 和 Linux 設定中回報的 net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED 結果；完成的標準是 GitHub 驗證完成，並且可以複製私人儲存庫。

Hi everyone,

I am one of those unlucky fellows with this error, and I haven't been able to find any solution yet.

I am using MacOS 15.5 build 24F74 and the following version of VS Code:

Version: 1.100.2 (Universal)
Commit: 848b80aeb52026648a8ff9f7c45a9b0a80641e2e
Date: 2025-05-14T21:47:40.416Z
Electron: 34.5.1
ElectronBuildId: 11369351
Chromium: 132.0.6834.210
Node.js: 20.19.0
V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0
OS: Darwin arm64 24.5.0

My browser is Brave 1.78.102 (Chromium: 136.0.7103.113).

When I am trying to clone one of my private repos, VS Code tells me the extension GitHub wants to sign in using GitHub:

When I press the button, a new tab in my browser opens:

Finally, a pop-up message appears in the browser asking if I want to open VS Code, and when I agree, it throws me back to VS Code with this message:

At this point an error "ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED" in the Output/GitHub Authentication appears:

2025-05-24 09:23:33.311 [error] net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED

However, I don't have any proxy. I am also having the same issue on the latest builds of Manjaro and Ubuntu.

Switching to another browser or a different network does not help either.

I would highly appreciate any help, I am falling into despair and thinking about migration to GitLab and switching to some other IDE already, even though I don't want to. >__<'
