If your SSH command is getting stuck, there could be a few reasons why it's not connecting successfully. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and ensure you can connect via SSH:

1. **Check Port Forwarding:** Ensure that port 22 (or whichever port you're using for SSH) is correctly forwarded in your router settings to the internal IP of your Debian server. This is crucial for allowing external SSH connections.

2. **Firewall Settings:** Check both your server's firewall and any network firewalls to ensure that they allow inbound connections on the SSH port. On your Debian server, you can check this with:
   ```
   sudo ufw status
   ```
   If UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) is active, ensure there's a rule allowing traffic on port 22.

3. **SSH Service Running:** Verify that the SSH service is running on your server. You can check this with:
   ```
   sudo systemctl status ssh
   ```
   If it's not running, start it with:
   ```
   sudo systemctl start ssh
   ```

4. **Server's SSH Configuration:** Ensure that your server's `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file is configured to listen on the correct port and that there are no restrictions that might prevent connections from your IP.

5. **Use Verbose Mode in SSH:** To get more information about where the SSH connection is failing, you can use the verbose mode by adding `-v` to your SSH command:
   ```
   ssh -v myusername@174.102.82.32
   ```
   This will provide detailed output about the SSH connection process and can help pinpoint where the issue lies.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose where the connection issue is occurring and take appropriate action to resolve it.
