[PLUG] Need Help "SSH through VPN"

[Sean Whitney]

I would start by attempting to connect through the VPN and watching the
log file.

ssh -v or -vv or -vvv can also provide some insight.

Could it be a timeout issue for reverse DNS?

If you can't figure it out with that, you might have to use tcpdump....
