Hi everyone,
My droplet was working just fine and I was able to connect to it through my mac and through my phone using ssh port 22 and all of a sudden it started giving me errors.
First it was Connection refused and then after I restarted the machine it is now giving me Operation timed out.
I turned the firewall off using ufw disable but still nothing changed.
Any idea on what might caused it? I didn’t do anything and all of a sudden it started doing it after 2 years I have the droplet.
Thanks so much!

I am able to log in through the console but not through ssh port 22.
Also tried an older backup of the droplet but that didn’t work either.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks so much!
try: tail -F /var/log/auth.log
Then try to log in again with ssh.
Also try logging in from a different IP address, as there might be a router, or server between you and DO causing a problem.
Check https://status.digitalocean.com and see if there are any known issues in your area.
Also try ssh from console back into your server.

When I check “service ssh status”, I get “ssh start/running” but without any port number. Also, the “sshd_config” is completely empty. Any thoughts on where I go from here? Thanks so much!
