Locked SSH to a single IP and then lost that IP so I'm now locked out of the server

  • 772

I thought locked SSH access to my IP would be a good thing but now I'm completely locked out and nothing I do in rescue mode seems to work.

I've tried changing/removing/uninstalling iptables but nothing I do in rescue mode seems to save and as soon as I boot the machine back up from the HDD all the settings have returned :/

networking server iptables ssh rescue-mode

  1. Many VPS hosting companies provide "console" access to fix problems like this. In a comment you mentioned you are using OVH. Here is their help page explaining how to use their implementation of console access: https://docs.ovh.com/us/en/public-cloud/access_console_horizon/

  2. Tom Brossman was correct there is a console but it's in a slightly different place for dedicated servers.

    I feel a bit dumb so I'm going to leave this here for any other dumbasses like me :P
