SSH times out . It used to connect till yesterday night. Today morning I tried connecting and it’s not. I haven’t shutdown the host.
Thanks for reply. I got a mail from digitalocean informing that they had to disconnect my droplets due to some possible DOS attack. They say that my outgoing traffic crossed 1298 Mb/s and they suspected something fishy. I didn’t have anything of that sort. I don’t know how and why this happened. Asked them to restore the connection and they didn’t even bother to reply to my ticket. Hence I destroyed the droplet. Would consider shifting to some other cloud providers. Bas experience with digitalocean.
What was the purpose of your droplet?
Perhaps it was compromised
Yes. That’s what the digitalocean guys say. There was a SYN attack from my droplet. I wonder how and why. I didn’t share my SSH password to anybody and I use it from my pvt pc and not any public space. I hope digitalocean guys need to ensure about such attacks. It would be very difficult going ahead with such scenarios. This was my test server, following which I had plans to expand to at least a 50 droplets and TBs volume space. I guess I need to find a more robust and secure cloud provider.
