For some reason I can't SSH from my laptop to my #Gitea server via its public interface. It just keeps timing out. It's only the laptop having this issue; my tablet and phone are doing this just fine. I was finally able to push my commits by sending them directly over the LAN instead. I've tried resetting the VPN on the laptop, but it's still not working normally.

I am officially confused.

Edit: Mystery solved. I forgot to pay my VPN provider... again.

@Kofi Loves Efia The HTTPS connection is fine. It's the SSH connection that's not working. A certificate issue would tjrow a warning. Also the fact that it works from other devices is supremely confusing.

do a whatsmyip . com and see if you are actually on the same VPN address space.

@Joe I wouldn't need to be. It's the public interface that's timing out. The LAN interface works fine.

That's the public IP your laptop is showing. I was wondering if the three machines are showing different addresses. Typically one would get the same external address for VPN on all three. If for some reason the laptop is getting one that's different, that could explain why you can't get there.

@Joe Figured it out. I forgot to pay my VPN provider.

Edit: typo
