SSH not working?

Is it just me or is Plusnet blocking the SSH connection?

I can't connect to my server via SSH at all from my Plusnet connection, however I can connect to my server from my phone using PocketPuTTY.

I've rebooted the router without any luck.

Thanks,

Sure your phone provider is not blocking it?

Many do on consumer packages (T-mobile and Voda I know for a fact do) along with a bunch of other "non-consumer" protocols.

Doesn't SSH fall into the bronze queue to prevent people using p2p over an SSH tunnel? If so, that could be the reason, i.e. there's not enough bandwidth to service the bronze queue.

ssh working fine here on PN (just specifically tried it)

SSH works fine on my T-Mobile contract phone (Vario/pocket putty) and on my 3g datacard too...

Plusnet do not block SSH connections or VPN for that matter on any of their products. They do traffic shape it though which can, during busy times, make connections unreliable or not as fast as non-busy times.

If you are still having problems when it is quiet then maybe its a local issue - have you tried rebooting your router & PC? checked your firewall is still set correctly etc.

T-mobile block it on the non "Pro" version of web-n-walk according to our acc. mgr, although I've never used the non pro version to confirm, tbh..

and since its a time sensitive application it shouldnt be shaped.

shape email instead. its not time sensitive.

Er, what are you talking about? My mobile phone has got nothing to do with Plusnet...

I am saying that on my Plusnet connection, I was unable to use SSH at all. But when I used my mobile phone (that is not connected to Plusnet, just T-Mobile), it worked fine which means the problem lies with Plusnet.

Ah, could be... going to research further on this. It seems to be getting worse than the past 4 months.

Thanks!
