Common issues and fixes

Connection timed out

A firewall or cloud security group (e.g. AWS SG) is silently dropping SYN packets.

Connection refused

The server is reachable, but no daemon is listening on the requested port.

High-risk port open

Leaving unencrypted ports (FTP 21, Telnet 23) or databases (MySQL 3306, Redis 6379) open to the public internet creates vulnerability to brute force.

Recommended remediation

Close unused ports with ufw / iptables. Place databases behind private VPCs or SSH tunnels rather than exposing them publicly.
