'Vscode host verification key failed. Zscaler
Been searching several times to find the answer to this issue. Hope someone else has similar settings.
I am using MacOS Big Sur. Vscode 1.61.2
I am working remotely from office and laptop has zscaler installed.
In Vscode terminal all git push/pull etc works fine with my id_rsa.
Using inbuilt Vscode menu / icons doing the same thing all fail with host key verification failed.
When using terminal inside or outside vscode, there is always a "warning: the RSA host key for <GitHub internal site> differs from the key for the IP address xxx.xx.xx.xx' Are you sure you want to continue?I have to enter yes, then git operation executes OK.
I believe above is due to zscaler app.
Q. Is the above prompt causing in-built vscode git calls to fail? Any way around it?
I'm pretty sure this basic inbuilt SCM works for everyone with remote repos.

I believe it is a zscaler making VPN less secure one solution at a time. Seeing you are not logging directly into your final host - it seems the RSA key is whatever host is playing as intermediary for the connection.
