I'm actually in process of moving our team's CI/CD back to jenkins from github actions. I can see github actions working well for a startup to midsize company but my current project working with a big enterprise company with corporate networks and limitations has made it a nightmare.

You can self-host a Github Actions Runner, you will be able to access the host machine's network from your workflows.

yes we have one self hosted runner right now to bypass a few of the problems we had. Going through the corporate bureaucracy to get the runner running in the first place was a nightmare, and it didn't solve all our problems, and now we're also responsible for patching and doing all the paperwork for that runner. Which was the same problem we had with Jenkins in the first place, just without all the other headaches. If I have to patch and secure it anyways with the security team breathing down our necks every other week I rather stick with Jenkins.
