If you’re trying to ssh from within a local network:

• check you’re using the same internet connection (not ‘Guest’ wifi).
• check you’re not using a VPN

Check the AllowTcpForwarding rules from the ssh server

I was trying to get port forwarding to work… but it just wasn’t connecting as I’d expect. I noticed that the AllowTcpForwarding rule in /etc/ssh/sshd_config defaulted to no, which was too restrictive for what I wanted.

Check any firewalls

You may be blocking the port you’re trying to access.
