Paramiko SSH Timeout Resolution
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Subject: SSH Connection Timeout Issue with ssh.traslochimilanopro.it (Using Paramiko and WP-CLI in Python)
Description of Issue:
I'm attempting to connect to the server at ssh.traslochimilanopro.it via SSH using the paramiko library in Python, with the goal of executing WP-CLI commands for automated WordPress management tasks. Despite multiple attempts, the SSH connection consistently times out with the following error:
sql
Copy code
ssh: connect to host ssh.traslochimilanopro.it port 22: Operation timed out
Details of Implementation:
Python Library: I am using the paramiko library to handle the SSH connection and run commands.
Goal: The purpose of the SSH connection is to automate WordPress management tasks via WP-CLI commands, scheduled and executed remotely.
Steps Taken to Troubleshoot:
Verified Server Reachability:
Successfully pinged the server at ssh.traslochimilanopro.it, confirming it is online and responding to ICMP requests. The IP address resolves to 35.214.157.130 with no packet loss.
Tried Direct IP Connection:
Attempted SSH connection directly to 35.214.157.130, bypassing DNS resolution, but encountered the same timeout issue.
Tested Alternate SSH Ports:
Tried connecting using common alternate ports (e.g., 2222) in case SSH was configured on a non-standard port. However, no connection was established.
Used Verbose Mode for Diagnostic:
Enabled SSH verbose logging (ssh -vvv), which provided detailed connection output but confirmed that the connection is timing out during the initial TCP handshake without receiving any response from the server.
Checked Local Network Restrictions:
Verified that my network does not have outbound SSH restrictions by successfully connecting to other servers via SSH.
Also tested from a different network (mobile hotspot), but the issue persists.
Confirmed SSH Key and Permissions:
The private key is in the correct path and has 600 permissions, as required for SSH connections.
Suspected Causes:
Firewall on the server: SSH access may be restricted by firewall rules on the server, limiting access by IP or blocking the standard SSH port (22).
Server SSH Configuration: The server’s SSH configuration might use a custom port not documented or accessible.
Network restrictions on the server side: The server or hosting provider might have additional security restrictions preventing SSH access from certain IPs.
Request:
Could you please verify:
The correct SSH port configuration on the server (if it’s non-standard).
Whether there are firewall rules on the server or network that could be blocking SSH access.
Any additional security measures that might restrict SSH connections from external IPs.
