ssh: connect to port 22: Connection timed out

I am trying to access my Linode via ssh and I get this error: ssh: connect to port 22: Connection timed out. I have never had it before. How do I fix it?

A connection timeout can mean a lot of things from your Linode being powered off to the connection being blocked by a firewall. Our guide to Troubleshooting SSH is likely the best place to start if you're having issues.
