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.

    Are you trying to connect via IP or via hostname/DNS? Try IP if you haven’t yet.

    Perhaps you have only allowed connections from specific clients or from local IP’s only?

    Are there any error messages or do you get a timeout?
