I am under a proxy and I am pushing in to git successfully for quite a while.
Now I am not able to push into git all of a sudden.
I have set the RSA key and the proxy and double checked them, with no avail and git is throwing me the error shown in the title of the page.

The reason could be the firewall modification as you are under a network.(In which case they may deliberately block some ports)
To double check if this is the reason ... do

ssh -T [email protected]

this should timeout. If that's the case use http protocol instead of ssh this way
just change your url in the config file to http.
Here is how :-

git config --local -e

change entry of 

 url = [email protected]:username/repo.git

to 

url = https://github.com/username/repo.git
