Locked myself out of VPS. Dumb Mistake.
So basically my SSH port used to be something other than 22.
So I edited sshd_config (its a centos 6 vps) and changed it back to 22 and restarted the SSH service.
What I forgot to do was open up port 22 in iptables.
So now I'm locked out of my Crissic OpenVZ box.
Great....so I can go to serial console and fix it.
But I haven't been able to use serial console since January.
Whenever I try to SSH with serial console details I get
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Are there any ways to fix the issue without having to wait for support to get back to me tomorrow? Will the reconfigure network in SolusVM button do anything for an OpenVZ VPS?

Congratulations, you've now reached a stage where you can open a ticket.
I imagine support should be able to help you out since it's OVZ as they may be able to pull up a console locally.
For serial console:
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Just confirming, that's not an issue on my side right?
It's been happening for more than a month
Unless something is dropping the connection on your side (java, SSL, or a firewall of some sort), I'd guess it to be on their side. Maybe someone else with a Crissic box can chime in.
Just tested on all 3 of my crissic boxes.
On
LAXOVZ03
and
MIAOVZ13
Same serial console issue.
MIAOVZ10 serial console works.
Their side issue confirmed.
The console not working is 100% an issue on their end, its firewall related (etc/hosts.deny)
Are you running CSF on your VPS?
No csf just iptables.
The console, usually comes with an IP+port+password to login. Have you tried other than using java?
@xaitmi: I'm on MIAOVZ13 as well, confirming that it's not just you re the serial console.
For some reason, the server resets the connection after 5 seconds:
Why it's sending that reset I have no clue.
This is the first host of 7 I'm overjoyed to not renew my service with, it's just gone downhill so much in the last ~3 months.
Edit: By any chance have you experienced random slowdown/increased load averages due to iowait? Since you're on the same physical node as me it appears.
Yes. And @ajgarett has confirmed it's not just me as well.

Yes.
I host a database server for one of my websites on that node and the reason why I was messing with the box today was so that I could prepare to move everything over to HostUs.
Ever since Quadranet took over, the boxes slow down for long periods of times before going back to "normal", and sometimes the network latency goes crazy.
HostUs is my Crissic replacement, I had ~ 15 VPS's with Crissic prior to Quadranet swallowing them, and now I only have 3 left with Crissic.
HostUs has been awesome, prices are dirt cheap, support is awesome, and you get a lot for what you pay for.
@AlexanderM does a great job running that ship. Going to pickup another one of his $12/year boxes tomorrow once Crissic fixes my VPS and finish the migration
As a Crissic customer, I will never ever buy or consider a Quadranet service, simply because of how poorly they are treating us. The service really is crap now.
Huh, I'll keep him in mind once my digital ocean credit runs out. Hopefully there'll be SSD nodes in a few months. Thanks for the tip!
Yes, so much yes.
You guys still do not understand that this is the main intention of QuadraNet - to provide shitty services, as you are just using up their IP aquisition. I've worked with them before - they are definetely competent enough to run a small-scale VPS host. They just do not want to and the Crissic aquisition was about IP space, not about lowend VPS.
Hello,
By any chance are you able to boot on an ISO like rescue cd if so you could mount your partitions revert ssh conf to your other port ?
Only way i can see this to be resolved is to get the host to enter the vm once it's booted from the host node and then edit the iptables config, you could provide them with a single command to run; and they can literally do something like "vzctl exec {vmid} {command}"
try using a desktop vnc application like Tightvnc to connect your box (node_ip:node_vm_port)
Feel free to PM me and I'll see what I can do for you, no guarantees, though, and for free.
It's OpenVZ mate! :P
On OpenVZ?
@MrGeneral @Clouvider in our cloud you can boot on anything you want so that's what i would have done in this situation i did not know if it was possible on openvz that's why i started my
commentquestion by "by any chance".Oh, I understand completely, but fuck them in the ass with a 4u supermicro because they act like everything is going great.
If it is openvz, and you request console access from SolusVM ... you can use those details on putty, and it will drop you right in. You do not need to wait for them
Confirmed that Crissic SolusVM's Console access didn't connect. Looks like they didn't open the port on the ip so your connection will be refused. You will have to open a ticket then.
go with @MrGeneral :-)
ElCheapo probably will hack into your box right over mysql, if every other starting point fails ^^
Hi guys, just an update.
Crissic responded to my ticket and fixed my VPS a few minutes ago, they also fixed the serial console issue.
Did you read the thread? He said the serial console is not working for him.
Glad to hear it!
Another situation where opening a support ticket was 100000000x better than a thread on LET.
LowEndHelpdesk is so inefficient
@century1stop
The reason I opened a thread here was to see if there was a way to fix it without waiting for them.
And we also established that it was not just me having the serial console issue.
it's okay, just trolling
I believe @rsk was talking about in Solus when you request the console session (before the console even loads) it also generates a user/pass you can connect to SSH with. Unless he could not even get to that page..
