Hello everyone,

It's my first time using self hosted Github runner. I have 2 servers (Development and CI/CD server). The CI/CD server hosts the runner and inside my workflow I have an action which connects via SSH to my Development server but for some reason it can't succed without opening the firewall on port 22 to all connections.

I did a journalctl -u ssh and seems like Github Actions is connecting via 20.246.79.82 which is Microsoft hosted IP on my machine using SSH.

Isn't self hosted supposed to allow better security and allow in house connections ? Why it's connecting via Microsoft server ? It is because of that custom action ?

The SSH action is: appleboy/[email protected]
