Ssh into mac connection refused

Here is SSH debug output: Connecting to xxx. Connection refused ssh: Connection refused. Rich B Rich B 1 1. I once had similar issues with sshfs. With ssh -4 user host you could force IPv4 see michele. It could be firewalled, or you could be connecting to the wrong IP address. Neither is something that we can check for. Sounds to me like the target host is blocking your access, Are you using a VPN? Try to see if your IP changed in some way, you can check with curl ipnfo. Try with netcat or nmap to check if the port is open ncat host Check the ssh logs on your host to see if you see anything from your side but I really doubt it.

It could be that they are restricting access for that version maybe? I am on a corporate VPN, as always when working with these servers years.

I typed 'ssh root ipaddress' and it gives me 'ssh: Connection refused'. I just forgot: Log In to Comment. Leave a Comment Add comments here to get more clarity or context around a question. Hi, You tried other SSH clients? Alternatively, check using nmap-if port 22 is not used by any service or firewall. Turns out I was using a VPN that blocked port Now everything is working properly.

I have solved this issue by unchecking the SSH key. Are you trying to connect after a fresh install? Or, perhaps, is there a firewall deployed or the SSH port got changed? Same thing here, fresh install, snapshot. Do you have a firewall installed on your droplet?

Can you log in using the remote console? I'm having the exact same issue. I didn't intentionally install a firewall on my droplet. How would I check for that? This is a new droplet created from a snapshot image. AJB February 3, I took a snapshot and then tried to launch a larger droplet and now I'm locked out of both. I'm getting: Connection refused. This one works: Hello same issue on fresh dropplet image installations. Same issue here.

Created a fresh droplet choosing Wordpress on Ubuntu Tried 'ssh root xxx. Connection refused as the error. Is that port blocked on default installation? Having same problem, anyone found the solution? I ran the command and here's what happened: Thanks again!

It seems that Droplets by default listen at for the ssh use instead Have another answer? Share your knowledge.
