Asked by Csaba Todor
I’ve recently installed Nginx on my Ubuntu 16.04.2 Droplet via SSH and everything went well, until I closed PuTTY and tried to reconnect I received a “Network Error: Connection timed out” by PuTTY.
Does anyone experiencing the same issue? I have my datacenter region at London.

Hi @cstodor
Did you perhaps activate the firewall while installing Nginx?
Try to connect through Console on the control panel, then either allow SSH traffic:
sudo ufw allow 22
Or disable the firewall:
sudo ufw disable
