Issue Type: Bug
connect to a remote host specified from ~/.ssh/config
the connection stopped with message "Could not establish connection to "xxx". Illegal argument: port".
With the full log in "OUTPUT" window, I can see the extension try to map remote port 42007 to local port 0, while port 0 is invalid.

Seems that finding a free port failed for some reason.
The extension works correctly after a reboot on my MBP
I will keep this open because we can handle this better...
Hit this today, also on a MBP, and reboot fixed it.
I have this issue on Windows 10, rebooting doesn't help. Running the SSH Nightly also didn't help, but hid the error (but it still froze)

Still seems to be trying to bind to port 0. I tried completely removing VS Code and all extensions and user settings in %appdata%\Code
I have the same problem in Windows 10.

I just started receiving this error yesterday, also Windows 10. I tried the insiders and the SSH nightly and still had the issue.
Are there any workarounds at this time?
I have tried to improve the error handling here and make this less likely, but I'm not sure why we are failing to find a free port. If you still see it in the nightly build after next monday, please show me your logs.
Hello, thanks for taking a look at this.
I’ve tried the nightly build you mentioned and I’m still seeing the error. Previously it looked like the other posters (specifically xueyaodeai's post). Now it pops up a window that says
Could not establish connection to “dev-centos7”. Error establishing tunnel (Failed to find a free local port).
and gives the option to close the remote or retry.
I am running Windows 10, the VSCode Insiders build, and the only extensions are the three that come with Remote – SSH.
Let me know if you need more information. Here are the Remote – SSH logs and my system info:

Thanks for trying. I have changed the strategy for picking a free port, so maybe it will work in tomorrow's nightly build.
Just tested the new build [email protected] and I'm still having issues, logs are below. I think that your recent change may have fixed the issue though and instead I'm having another problem.
There was an issue posted a couple of days ago that looks identical to what I'm seeing below: #1019 , the difference being they were running on the current release build 0.44.2. and I was on the nightly. Perhaps my logs will give a little more insight into their issue as well.

Thanks @Dallas-Hays I will open a new issue for this part
