Forge / Github SSH not working

I used Forge to provision a server, and I've added a site to the server. When I attempt to install my repository via Forge, I see this error:

Cloning into 'mysquash.pro'...
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

When I go to Github, I can see the Forge generated SSH shown in my account. I am the owner of this repository.

If I manually SSH into my server, and attempt git clone with SSH the request times out. If I use the HTTPS git clone method I'm prompted for my credentials. Do I need to configure Git on the server to use the SSH key that Forge generated?

Update: it turns out my VPS provider disables port 22 outgoing connections by default.
