Check port 22

[RKnight]

For some reason when I try to connect to ssh port 22 I get connection refused, I ran the test at port 22 - Connection Check and it says outbound port 22 is being blocked, I'm wondering what could be blocking that port, since I completely disabled my windows firewall. Could it be my ISP?

are you using a router or do you have any security software running in the task manager?

[lcdguy]

possibly. what happens when you try to connect by your local ip. does it work ?

I would take a guess and say that most ISPs would block that port for security reasons. You should be able to use a different port though.

Wrong.

I can use port 22 just fine. I can SSH into my box remotely without an issue.

If port 22 is being blocked its a localized issue with either a firewall or router.

I thought Bell/Rogers did some port blocking though? Could be mistaken, but I guess we'd have to know the ISP first.

I guess for the OP to test, connect your PC directly to the modem and see if it works or not. Ensure any firewall/antivirus software is disabled.

that's why i suggested he first try to see if he can get in locally on 22 if so then it's not an issues with the computer. also you should be able to change the port to whatever you like. you could run it on port 35624 if you really want to.
