Split ssh configuration fails in 4.2.4

I have been using the setup from the Split SSH guide here and it has recently stopped working.

From what I can tell it may have still been working when I switched templates from fedora-41-xfce to fedora-42-xfce but as of right now, I can’t run git pull origin main. It instead seems to timeout, with the following message displayed:

$ git pull origin main
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

When I tried initial troubleshooting as suggested in this discussion, ssh -T git@github.com gives the following:

$ ssh -T git@github.com
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out

I am able to run ssh-add -L successfully (it lists the correct key with the corresponding description)

The solution in the linked discussion says:

Resolved by disabling and masking gcr-ssh-agent and using a non-gui ssh agent in the ssh backend (vault) vm instead.

I’ve looked around the forum and I am none the wiser regarding what this means or how I can go about doing this. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be much obliged. Thank you in advance :pray:
