ssh: connect to host bitbucket.org port 22: Connection timed out fatal

Question

Whole error is:

ssh: connect to host bitbucket.org port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I'm getting this error when I do push from two of my projects which are on different servers (countries).

What could be problem?

UPDATE:

Using

ssh -v

I'm getting this:

usage: ssh [-somecode] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
           [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile]
           [-i identity_file] [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]
           [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
           [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path]
           [-w tunnel:tunnel] [user@]hostname [command]

Solution 1

check if you don't have iptable rules for ssh outgoing connections, if true, add port 22.
For multiple ports:

iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -p tcp --match multiport --dport 22,1111,2222,3333 -j ACCEPT

Solution 2

This may get it working again

edit the ssh config file:

nano ~/.ssh/config

make sure you have these lines:

Host bitbucket.org
 Hostname  altssh.bitbucket.org
 Port  443

What if 3rd statement is false?

[A. Sallai]

It did work for me but can you please explain what this really does?

[Mario Fink]

That worked nicely. However I had to remove the backtick after the port number 443 (on MacOS).

Well spotted, that shouldn't have been in there, I have edited and removed it now, thanks

It would have been better to suggest checking their status page bitbucket.status.atlassian.com
