Question

can't ssh into my freebsd droplets

Hiya,

Recently lost the ability to ssh into my FreeBSD droplets. I have two and neither works. I rely on ipfw inside my droplets but to my knowledge have not set up any firewall on the DO side.

I’m sure there’s an easy explanation but I can’t find it.

Thanks for your time.

Hello, @davewrobison

You can use telnet or nmap to see if the port is actually open and if you’re able to receive connections on it:

telnet IPADDRESS 22

Using nmap you will see the open ports and the services listening on those ports. If 22/ssh is open you will see it.

nmap IPADDRESS

Hope this helps.
