I understand. By default, SSH is not enabled, so must ensure that it is, first.
What is the output of:
sudo systemctl status ssh

Sorry sir but you are not understanding however the another problem begins here now I am unable to ping any host or ip I get this ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
We must check that SSH is working and enabled on your system before anything can be done with OpenSSH.
What is the output of
sudo systemctl status ssh
What is the output of
sudo ufw status
![]()
The package ufw comes pre-installed on Zorin OS.
Does that terminal output offer to install it?
What happens if you enter:
sudo apt install ufw gufw
It just abort and one more thing I removed iptables yesterday.
Were any configuration files for iptables left behind? Might be a good idea to check ~/.config, ~/.local/share etc.
Is UFW installed? Or was it removed?
What is the output of:
sudo systemctl status ssh
![]()
I didn't removed it and I don't know it was installed or not!
IDK how to check can you please tell me?
What is the output of
sudo apt install -y openssh-client
The keyboard shortcut ctrl+h can reveal the directories if you do not see them.
In your home folder, look through /.config and through /.local/share and see if you find any folders named iptables and if so- remove them.

Nothing named ip tables found in both folders
sudo apt install openssh-server
?
I don't want server so why should I install ?
It is a client-server architecture. OpenSSH-Client is the client package, OpenSSH-server is the server package that listens for client connections.
yes so client is already installed no need of server right?
and btw why ping is not working?
Ok now please trust me I tried all the available ways on internet and I am 90% sure that this 3 things are issues with zorin os.
You can't ping external ip or host it will show error
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
You can't traceroute ip or hostname again the same error
Ssh client doesn't works just connection timed out. I am able to connect from windows and now please don't give me all that stuff that you mistyped or that your server don't have port 22 opened I know all that stuff.
So I would like to ping @AZorin and @zorink (Sorry
If mispinged) for attention on this things.
Thanks,

I'm not sure I understand the "Solution". Since this thread is marked for a Solution, can you please elaborate what the solution was?
I also don't know the solution the solution was that it is a issue and maybe zorin team will look into it.
If you want to help me please give me the output of ping zorin.com so that I can confirm that operation not permitted problem happens with everyone not only me.
Ping is working for me. I think that in finding a solution here:
it can get you back on track for his thread.
If your above Post with Link is also your solution to this thread, you can mark your post as Solution as well.
