Using JuiceSSH on my phone, I’m able to connect to my device without any problems when I’m on my home Wi-Fi. However, when off WiFi and connected to my VPN, the server doesn’t connect. I’m still able to access the services it’s running, but can’t SSH into the server itself.

Edit: I thought I answered everyone’s questions but I’m not seeing the answers so I’m posting the info here.

I get the below message and nothing happens. Then about 60 seconds later Juice gives a timeout error.

ssh_socket_connect: Nonblocking connection socket: 98 ssh_connect: Socket connecting , now waiting for the callbacks to work

I’m using the built in VPN service in my router. It uses the OpenVPN protocol.

Edit 2: Using the same VPN config file, I’m able to access the server using Putty on my laptop. So I’m wondering if it is a Juice specific issue.

      Really strange. What von client are you using on android? Im iOS, so not overly familiar. Probably done all this, but just run through it again make sure you haven’t got a typo somewhere or something.

      1.	Check Connection Settings: Ensure the IP, port, and authentication details are correct in JuiceSSH.
2.	Firewall Rules: Confirm the SSH port (usually 22) isn’t blocked by any firewalls on your network or server.
3.	Try another SSH App: To see if it’s a JuiceSSH-specific issue, download another SSH client like Termius and test the connection.

      (I’d probably start with 3, might narrow it down to a juice config problem, I’m not very familiar with juice)

        I would also test by connecting to the vpn and trying to go to a service’s ip or ping an ip on the network behind the vpn from the browser. I use juice and ovpn on my router as well and it works fine, so its unlikely to be a juice specific problem
