- Installed PuTTY on my Windows desktop.
- Received password on email.
- Copied IP address (139.59.24.189).
- The PuTTY screen appears to be not accepting any text and showing access denied.(https://digitalsplendidtemp.blogspot.com/2019/10/blog-post.html).
Help will be appreciated.

Hi @DigitalSplendid,
You can try and allow your IP address in your droplet’s firewall.
Please try with the following lines
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -j ACCEPT
You can replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with your own personal IP address. To get your own IP address, click here
As soon as you’ve added your IP, save the iptables configuration
iptables save
If you wish to read more on Iptables and how to use them, you can check this DO article - Iptables Essentials

Having not much exposure to working in consoles, I am not sure in which console I need to put commands.
- Is it the console that opens from PuTTY (screenshot 2)
- Is it the console that opens after clicking Launch Console (screenshot 1)
Or are they just alternative way to get the same work done?
