Cannot connect to IP:22. Error 111. Connection refused

Hi @HappyGrayScubaDiver,

In such cases, it’s always best to connect directly to your Droplet’s web console and see the error there. It’s possible the Droplet didn’t boot properly or got stuck somewhere thus causing such issues. The Droplet will allow you to see the error and potentially fix it. Look at the link here:

If this seems like network-related or something related with the Droplet like fstab issues boot order and so on, I’ll recommend contacting DigitalOcean’s support, they should be able to assist as well

Hello,

I could suggest trying to connect via the web console as described here:

Let me know how it goes and if you get any errors, feel free to share them here!
