Linode vm is not accessible from outside
Hello, I tried to access (ssh) Linode vm from my lap. Looks like its not reachable. I tried to Wireshark while doing ssh to the mentioned vm, am seeing SYN packet is continuously retransmitting and getting timed out eventually. can you check what is the reason behind this. am able to access using LISH ssh without any issues. But doing ssh from remote machine always fails with time out. let me know if any network setting to be set

If you're having trouble SSH-ing into your Linode virtual machine, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue. Firstly, check that your Linode has a public IP address configured and that the connection is not being blocked by a firewall. Next, make sure that port 22 (which is used for SSH) is open and that SSH is running on your Linode. More on this was already discussed in this community post.
If you're able to access your Linode via LISH (and ping externally) but not via SSH, then it's likely that the issue is related to SSH specifically. In this case, you may want to check the SSH configuration on your Linode and ensure that it is set up correctly. You can also try running traceroute or MTR to identify any potential network connectivity issues.
If you're still unable to connect after checking these settings, you may want to open a Support ticket.
