Cannot SSH to Google Cloud Platform Compute Engine anymore

Question

I have a similar problem as outlined here: Cant access GCP Compute Engine

Yesterday I lost access to my GCP server. I thought Google was having issues but almost 40 hrs later I'm thinking their issues would be resolved by now.

I've tried:

• From home & work and both access attempts fail (SSH in-browser fails & Putty).
• Both Connection via Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy Failed & without IAP failed

I have default-allow-ssh = 0.0.0.0/0 allow from anywhere

Recent(past 6 montsh) Firewall changes?: No

Answer 1

I decided to stop and start the instance. This resolved the problem and I can click "ssh" and ssh in-browser and from putty as expected now. Note: Unfortunately this results in a new IP address so beware!
