PuTTY unexpectedly stopped working after Nginx installation

Posted April 14, 2017
Nginx Ubuntu 16.04

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.

Try to connect through Console on the control panel, then either allow SSH traffic:
