Server is accessible only via IPMI. SSH and web control panel is timeout. Takes several hours. Server dont have high load or suspicious processes.
I checked /etc/hosts.deny and restarted ssh, but nothing

What happens after you reboot the server?

After reboot it still did not worked, if i remember properly.
I had to do commands like iptables -F, iptables-X (if i remember correctly) they should somehow emptied iptables rules, and then i think it started working.

But now again, i cant connect from one IP im afraid it will repeat...

I'm guessing this is a hosted server somewhere, if that's the case then ask your hosting company to check via a physical console, or wipe your server and start again.

This is unmanaged server and i have kvm access (IPMI), so i can do anything, just asking there for advice on what to check

Does sound like IPTables, perhaps you should disable that service and see how you get on.

I think that disabling iptables will break connection to Virtual machines (OpenVZ kernel), it might not be truth, but i tried these things and it had negative impact on virtual machines. I rather need to findout cause.
