Cant ssh to my droplet

Posted on May 31, 2018

I have been able to ssh into the server before, but after about three failed password attempts, i now get the message “Session Network Timeout Error Resolved” from putty. Not sure if its related to password attempts or something else (have tried on other computers, but same error, so maybe an automatic ip block?).

I can use the console here in digital ocean, but for some reason i cant paste things, and i cant type "", so i cant use the server basically…

If you have any tips for stuff i can try, please let me know :)
