Gitkraken on Windows behind a proxy doesn't work

Question

I installed Gitkraken and I'm trying to clone a repository from Bitbucket but it doesn't work, I get this error during the cloning process:

Failed to start ssh sesssion. Bad socket provided

I generated an authentification key on Gitkraken and accepted it with Bitbucket, so that's not the problem. I think it's because I'm behind a proxy, but I couldn't find any way to make it work. I'm using Windows 10.

Could anyone help me please?

I had this issue, too. It could not connect using SSH while behind a proxy, but I ended up getting it working if I connected using HTTPS. This might be a useful workaround for you.
