Extension activation failed while using Remote-SSH in VSC

[handflucht]

If I use GitHub Copilot as extension in Visual Studio Code in a local environment, it works fine.
Now I want to use it with the extension "Remote - SSH" on a host, which hasn't any internet-connection. If I try doing so, I receive always the following error:

[ERROR] [default] [2022-04-03T10:46:36.642Z] GitHub Copilot could not connect to server. Extension activation failed: "getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND api.github.com"

I think the extension tries to connect using a non-existing internet-connection of the remote-host instead via the client. Is there a possiblity to configure/forward ports to support GitHub Copilot also on a remote-Host which doesn't have any internet connection?

Tested with the following extensions:

• GitHub.copilot (1.4.2022, 01:17:55)
• GitHub.copilot-nightly (3.4.2022, 03:39:48)
