Solving PyCharm bug: "Python helpers are not copied yet..."

I have been using PyCharm Professional to run and debug Python code from my Windows machine to a remote Linux device. There are some other tools available for the same purpose (e.g. Python Tool for Visual Studio 2017). But in my opinion, PyCharm Professional stands out among its counterparts as it comes with a "All Batteries Included" setup. Once you configure remote Python interpreter in PyCharm, then it works out of the box.

Solving ‘Could not resolve host: github.com’ issue

Recently I ran into this issue while trying to clone one of my own repository from GitHub C:\GitHub\FS> git clone https://github.com/<username>/FS.git Cloning into 'FS'... fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/<username>/FS.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com At first I thought that this could be due to some proxy setting. So I tried to unset it by executing below command - C:\GitHub\FS> git config --global --unset https.proxy But that didn’t fix the problem and I was still getting the same error. As it turned out later, the culprit was my VPN connection. Turning off the VPN fixed the issue. For the records, I was using ‘Surfshark’ on my Windows 10 laptop.
