This problem started when I tried to login to my brand spaning new VPS server.
I remember that in my first SSH try on the server I actually got prompt for password several times which would mean that there is no port
blocking problem from my isp. Since the password did'nt work for me (for some reason). I had a lot of authentication failure. After that attempting to log in to the server just timed out. I did the same at mediatemple (which used to work before with sftp) and put in wrong password and now trying to ssh (or even SFTP) gives me timeout error.
So some kind of security feature is preventing me from trying too many times to log in, either from my side or from the server side. Any idea what it could be?
TRaceroute and ping works on the ips. I am using a zyxel wimax modem (max-206m1r - if that's relevent)
