Comment 1 for bug 1669501

I am able to access the GCE VM using the Google console. I see my IP addresses in the iptable --lis DROP rules! The coffee shop ip address is 96.33.226.42.

It looks like Juju scp/ssh is doing something that sets off a sshguard rule on GCE VMs. Here is the output from the systemctl status sshguard

Mar 02 15:55:35 juju-25c78b-1 sshguard[1710]: Blocking 96.33.226.42:4 for >630secs: 40 danger in 4 attacks over 907 seconds (all: 40d in 1 abuses over 907s).

The only method of connection was juju ssh/scp to connect to this system and now my IP address is blocked!
