Did you solve this problem?
I’m also facing this problem. I can access it via Recovery Console and it’s fine, but I can’t access it through Remote Desktop Connection. The option to allow remote connections is still enabled. I’m wondering why this problem has appeared.
Heya, @chinkyherrera
You can check if the droplet is running fine. If the droplet does not respond to ping requests you can do a power cycle. You can perform the reboot from your DigitalOcean account.
Another approach will be to use the recovery console and check if the droplet is stuck or some other activity occurs.
