Hi @theresiasandi,
It’s possible your server has blocked your IP address, the one that you use when using your Wifi network.
What you can do is get your IP once you are connected to the Wifi network by accessing the website https://ip.me.uk . This website will give you your IP address.
Once you have it, SSH to your droplet
Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is your actual droplet IP address or use the console in your DigitalOcean Control Panel.
In there you’ll need to allow the Ip you took for the website above like so
Please remember XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is your IP now.

Hi there @theresiasandi,
I could suggest running a
traceroute
ormtr
from your PC to your Droplet’s IP address to see where exactly the connection drops.Also I could suggest checking your firewall and making sure that your home IP address is allowed.
Do you get any errors or does the connection just time out?
