Hello, I am unable to connect to smtp.gmail.com:587 from droplet. Here is log from telnet:
altera@genius-camp:~$ telnet smtp.gmail.com 587 Trying 74.125.206.108… Trying 74.125.206.109… Trying 2a00:1450:400c:c04::6d… telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
This droplet was created from snapshot of another droplet from different account and on the old one this works fine
