You may experience loss of connectivity between resources in a VPC or Private Network, or problems accessing your private resources via SSH.
17+
18+
This page helps you solve potential errors that related to VPC access and reachability.

## I can't connect to a resource attached to a Private Network via SSH
21+
22+
### SSH bastion connection problems
23+
24+
You may be attempting to connect to a Scaleway Instance via [SSH bastion](/public-gateways/how-to/use-ssh-bastion/), and experience errors such as:
25+
26+
- `UNREACHABLE: Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Connection closed by remote host`
27+
- `Connect failed: No address associated with hostname: Connection closed by UNKNOWN port 123`
28+
29+
### SSH bastion connection solutions
30+
31+
**Try using an IP address instead of a hostname**. An error such as `No address associated with hostname` suggests a problem with DNS resolution of the resource hostname. Try using the resource's private IP address in your connection command instead of its hostname.
32+
33+
**Check the validity of your Private Network and/or resource names**. Issues can be caused when:
34+
- Names contain dots. Replace dots with dashes (`my.instance` —> `my-instance`). We generally recommend avoiding using dots in your resource names to avoid issues.
35+
- Private Network names share the same name as a TLD. See our [dedicated troubleshooting docment](/vpc/troubleshooting/pn-name/#tld-naming-problem-with-private-networks).
36+
- A [legacy Public Gateway](/public-gateways/concepts/#legacy-gateway) is attached to a Private Network, and its DNS is [taking priority over that of the Private Network](/public-gateways/concepts/#legacy-gateway). Ensure you are using correct hostnames in accordance with your Public Gateway in this case.
37+
38+
**Ensure your SSH keys are up to date**. If you add new SSH keys to your Project credentials after activating SSH bastion, you will need to perform a reimport to update the bastion with the new keys. [Follow instructions in the dedicated documentation](/public-gateways/how-to/use-ssh-bastion/#how-to-reimport-ssh-keys).
39+
40+
**Ensure your Instance is not overloaded**. An error such as `Connection closed by UNKNOWN port 123` could be linked to excessive traffic on this port of your Instance, an overload of the Instance's resources (CPU, RAM etc.), or an excessive number of simultaneous connections.
41+
42+
Check the load on the Instance, and try again.
43+
44+
## SSH connection problems (non-bastion)
45+
46+
You may be attempting to connect to a Scaleway Instance that is attached to a Private Network, via SSH using its public IP address, and experiencing timeout errors.
47+
48+
### SSH connection solutions (non-bastion)
49+
50+
**Use SSH bastion**. If the Instance is attached to a Private Network on which there is also a Public Gateway advertising the default route, it is normal that you cannot connect using the public IP. Use SSH bastion instead: see our [dedicated troubleshooting page](/public-gateways/troubleshooting/cant-connect-to-instance-with-pn-gateway/)

## Resources cannot communicate in a VPC
53+
54+
55+
- Check status
56+
57+
- MAC address issue
58+
loss of connectivity between resources in the same VPC. Reason: L’adresse MAC a été dupliqué entre votre proxmox de par1 et de par2. Basculer une même MAC d'une zone à l'autre n'est pas compatible avec le routage du VPC. Nous vous suggérons très fortement de ne plus basculer cette VM, car cela risque d’engendrer à nouveau les désagréments rencontrés. Nous vous recommandons de changer la MAC de votre VM, puis d'envoyer une gratuitous ARP dans le PN (avec arping par exemple), de manière à ce que les autres VMs soient à jour avec la nouvelle MAC.

- Different VPCs/Projects cannot communicate (no peering)
61+

- DNS?
