Hi support,

I have enabled ssh access following this article but I am getting "Connection refused" and can't connect. I am trying to access it from my local LAN.

I have "LAN 1" enabled and "ISP 1" disabled.

Can you help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Can you toggle off and on the ssh connection switch on LAN 1? if that doesn't work, make sure your ssh command line is good

ssh pi@[IP of your firewalla]

Done that already.

ssh command is correct.

➜ ~ ssh pi@<IP>
ssh: connect to host <IP> port 22: Connection refused
➜ ~

Ok, so I enabled ISP 1 (WAN) and it worked. This is strange as my AP is connected to LAN 1. Very confused at the moment. lol

Ok, I know what I did wrong now. I was trying to connect to the WAN IP address of the FWG instead of the LAN IP address. (facepalm)

Sorry for the trouble.
