can you ping the windows machine from the droplet? “Network unreachable” sounds like it can’t find the machine, not a connection problem.
Are you sure your windows machine is visible from the internet?
Hello, konkovac
You can double-check the IP address of your Windows machine and make sure that you’re using the correct IP when you try to establish a connection via ssh.
In theory you should still be able to ping the IP address. It might be a firewall issue when connecting to port 22, but the ping should work fine if ICMP connections are not blocked from the ISP.
