ssh: connect to host ********* port 22: Connection timed out – Ubuntu

I have Ubuntu 22.04 newly installed on my laptop. I am trying to connect to a remote server and getting the following error:

ssh: connect to host  ********* port 22: Connection timed out

I tried some solutions which include,

  • ping the IP address
  • adding the IP address to the firewall using sudo ufw
  • installing ssh and openssh

However, nothing seems to work. I’d be thankful if someone can help me to solve this problem.

    If you can ping the server it can be the following causes:

    1. The server is not answering ssh, sometimes ssh server is not up or it is answering in another port.
    2. There is a firewall blocking your request.

    You do not need to install the openssh server in your computer to access a remote hosts and normally outbound connections are allowed by ufw.
