Security by obscurity isn't security. Even the domain alone is a good place to start <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Awebspace-data.io+-kdfjkjsdghkjgsfkjsfd>. Then you have Shodan <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shodan_(website)> which lets people search for open ports etc. I am wondering if I have a failing hardware issue with either the rpi or an > issue with my router. Bit hard to tell remotely, but unlikely given there was a ssh timeout, it would be more likely to be something misconfigured. Is it possible that avahi-daemon and dhcpcd entries point to local network > problems? You shouldn't use DHCP for servers as everything goes down in a heap when the server does, same with Avahi, it's just a really bad idea for servers, however neither of those would cause connection timeouts for remote hosts. First thing to do is try doing a ping to the host name from the system running weeWX, if that fails try doing a traceroute to try and figure out where it's failing. If either of those work trying telnet-ing to port 22 to see if you can get a basic connection to the ssh port.
