Hi there,
Are you getting
pingto the droplet? Have you made any recent changes to the droplet configuration (like changing firewall rules)?You can use the DigitalOcean console to regain access to your droplet.
The Recovery Console provides out-of-band access and is available regardless of your network settings. It emulates the access you would have if you were sitting down with a keyboard and monitor attached to the actual server. You can use this feature to log in and revert bad settings to regain normal access.
