Hello,
Do you get any specific errors when you try to connect via the web console?
In such cases, I would personally usually try to reboot my Droplet if none of the services are responding.
Best,
Bobby
Hi @misterdre999,
I’ll suggest rebooting the Droplet if nothing else works. Once that is done, try using the Recovery Console. You can see here how it works:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/resources/recovery-console/
The 22: Connection refused error can be seen due to a lot of reasons. Having said that, most commonly I think it’s related to your Firewall. Once you connect to your Droplet using the Recovery Console, try switching your Firewall Off for a second to see if you are able to enter, if yes, then you’ll need to fix the firewall rules you have.
Note: It’s not good practice leaving your Firewall disabled as it may lead to a compromise.
Can’t connect my ssh root IP address given here with my virtual machine work station. How do I make the connection?
