what port, then, shall we choose?

~tffb

I have a wifi/tethering issue. Not with tethering, itself, but the fact my connection (on PC, on mobile) does not "listen" to Port 22 when I try to SSH into a server. I can visit Ctrl-c.club, I can use Irssi (IRC) on there, and all the server services they/we offer, but I cannot SSH into my personal VPS or run Irssi locally, or anything that requires Port 22 (that's the error I'm given on attempts).

Anything that anyone recommends on this. How can I get my PC to 'pute Port 22, how can I make my VPS connect via any/all ports (if possible). Any recommendations are helpful. thank you

Not sure how big a help this might be without knowing more about your setup, but is it possible you have some firewall rules that are messing about with port 22?

If your system has `ufw` on it, try this:

`sudo ufw allow ssh`

Then verify it with this:

`sudo ufw status`

Sorry if this isn't much help, but happy to help you look more into it if you'd like. I practically live inside SSH connections all the time for my day-job (sysadmin).

I'd start with three shots of 1800 tequila. But that's just inquiry....
