I can't seem to connect to the vm with Network error: Connection timed out

Just starting with the course and during the Course introduction: Using GCE to set up the lab environment I was able to create the vm and added the student ssh key, however the connection keeps timing out.

Hi @hubert.gutkowski,

How soon after you successfully log into the GCE instance is your connection getting dropped?
Is the connection dropped as you interact with the GCE VM, or is it dropped as a result of inactivity?
Is the Google Cloud Region hosting your GCE VMs the closest to you geographically?
Is there a firewall or VPN that filters your traffic?
