My droplet is active. I can connect to my droplet via ssh. Accessing the droplet via the IP Address while typing the IP address in the browser gives “unable to connect”.
Can anybody explain to me what is going on?
Thanks, Gert

Heya, @gertvanoss
The droplet seems to be up and running. Have you checked the status of your web-server, e.g Apache, Nginx?

Heya @gertvanoss,
I can see your Droplet is actually pinging so that is good, it means it’s working.
As for not being able to access it, is it possible that you recently updated/enabled your Firewall?
Anyway, you can enter your Droplet via the Recovery Console:

Once inside you can further investigate what’s going on.
