# Putty SSH fatal error, network error but only on my IP not VPN

## post by airtable on Oct 7, 2023

Hi all

I am getting error connecting to SSH with Putty with my local IP

**fatal error network error software caused connection abort**

But when I connect using VPN, everything seems fine, it connects without fail

How do I fix this?
