Can't connect to server via mosh


I started the server on Debian, installed all the necessary settings and connected the SSH key. I connect to the server:

ssh -i yandex_key [email protected]

Terminal output:

Linux rhost 4.19.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.208-1 (2021-09-29) x86_64

I run a mosh-server on the server:

[mosh-server detached, pid = 1739]

I go back to my local machine and run the mosh-client:

Usage: mosh-client [-# 'ARGS'] IP PORT
       mosh-client -c

I run the command in the terminal:

MOSH_KEY=YfK...qoQ mosh-client 51.250.1.155 60001

return:

mosh did not make a successful connection to 51.250.1.155:60001.
Please verify that UDP port 60001 is not firewalled and can reach the server.

(By default, mosh uses a UDP port between 60000 and 61000. The -p option
selects a specific UDP port number.)
[mosh is exiting.]

I try to connect using other commands mosh [rhost@]51.250.1.155 mosh [email protected], there is no result. I contacted server support but they said the problem was on my side. What could be the problem? I need help.


Solution

  • Make sure you have UDP ports 60000-61000 open in your firewall.
