ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused

Hello,

I'm facing a terrible issue of connection refused to the Linode after rebooting.

I'm using macOS and nothing is helping to get over it. Could anyone please help us in fixing this asap?

ssh: connect to host 'ip_address' port 22: Connection refused

Thanks.

This is an unhelpful error that SSH gives in that it doesn't point to why the connection was refused (not your fault). Some other posts on this site provide some troubleshooting tips to understand the why here that I would recommend:

Why can't I connect to my Linode via SSH?

SSH Error logging in

It's bigger than this troubleshooting. I've created an issue and the team is looking into.
