ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection refused

It looks like you are trying to SSH into several IP addresses, but each time, the connection is either “refused” or the network is “unreachable”. Here’s a breakdown of the issues and potential solutions:

  1. Connection Refused:
    • This error suggests that the server is reachable, but it’s not accepting connections on port 22 (default SSH port).
    • Possible causes:
      • SSH server (like sshd) might not be running on the target machine.
      • Firewall or security group rules on the server might be blocking incoming connections on port 22.
    • Solutions:
      • Ensure that the SSH service is running on the target machine.
      • Check firewall or security group rules and ensure they allow incoming SSH connections.

There are a few possible explanations for this:

  • The hosts are not running an SSH server.
  • The hosts are running an SSH server, but they are not configured to allow SSH connections from your machine.
  • Your machine is unable to reach the hosts on the network.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:

  1. Make sure that the hosts that you are trying to SSH into are running an SSH server. You can check this by running the following command on each host:
ps aux | grep sshd

If you see the sshd process running, then the host is running an SSH server.

  1. Make sure that the hosts that you are trying to SSH into are configured to allow SSH connections from your machine. You can check this by checking the SSH configuration file on each host. The SSH configuration file is typically located at /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
  2. Make sure that your machine is able to reach the hosts on the network. You can check this by running the following command on your machine:
