Question

Connection refused/timeout

After several days of running smoothly, My droplet suddenly started refusing connections. I am currently running 3 small python scripts that are not resource heavy.

The droplet runs Ubuntu. Everything worked great for 9 days, I was able to gain access via RDC/FTP, and view everything(script running) via droplet IP. None of that works now, and I haven’t made any changes to the droplet.

Hi @d0acd779fe6c4a8f808a2574099668,

I’ll recommend connecting to your Droplet using the Droplet Console and seeing if everything inside is as it should be :

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/connect-with-console/

See if you have network access by pinging google for instance. Additionally, check your firewalls and as a whole if everything you can think of is okay with the Droplet. We can take it from there and think of next steps when this is done.
