ssh server connect to host xxx port 22: Connection timed out on linux-ubuntu [closed]

Here are a couple of things that could be preventing you from connecting to your Linode instance:

  1. DNS problem: if the computer that you’re using to connect to your
    remote server isn’t resolving test.kameronderdehamer.nl properly
    then you won’t be able to reach your host. Try to connect using the
    public IP address assigned to your Linode and see if it works (e.g.
    ssh [email protected]). If you can connect using the public IP
    but not using the hostname that would confirm that you’re having
    some problem with domain name resolution.

  2. Network issues: there
    might be some network issues preventing you from establishing a
    connection to your server. For example, there may be a misconfigured
    router in the path between you and your host, or you may be
    experiencing packet loss. While this is not frequent, it has
    happenned to me several times with Linode and can be very annoying.
    It could be a good idea to check this just in case. You can have a look
    at Diagnosing network issues with MTR (from the Linode
    library).
