VSCode Remote-SSH could not establish connection to "host"

Question

I am working on a project that resides on a remote SSH server and I am trying to use Remote-SSH to work on the project in a local VS Code session. However, I am not able to work it out. When connecting to a host "host" after jumpy from a proxy, the error message appears as

Could not establish connection to "host"

My config file looks like this:

Host proxy
    HostName proxyipaddress
    User username
    IdentityFile pathtokey
Host host
    HostName hostipaddress
    User username
    ProxyJump proxy

The following output is shown in the output tab:

Notes

I have connected to the proxy and that works perfectly without issues.
I have checked for disk usage on the host and that is not a problem.
I have killed the server and downloaded it again but that doesn't work either.
