    you could add more details - tell if it works on your home network (you can also test an ssh connexion from the server) and give the full error message of the client (not just the last line - use ssh -vvv), and if possible, post the relevant parts of sshd logs on the server (/var/log/auth.log ... that might be another file depending on your logger daemon config), .... - to satisfy everybody's paranoia, consider modifying your login/host names from your logs.

  • And yes I am testing on my home network, just using the external IP so it has to go out and come back in again. I've also tried using my neighbours wifi to connect. With their permission, of course
