For this particular host, you won't be able to connect unless 
you're on a particular VPN, which would explain the timeout you're 
seeing.

There's no special private key in this case; the public key from 
my main ssh keypair is in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the host in 
question.

I can ssh in without any issue from "M-x shell", both via "ssh 
user@host" and the specific command run by TRAMP.

I am having this issue with non-AWS hosts that aren't behind a vpn 
as well. To remove the VPN/AWS confounding variables, I've 
repeated my previous steps with a different host, and attached the 
log to this email. Hopefully this one is more helpful!
