Heya @sophiatrafliod,
First make sure you can ping the Droplet and see if it’s online. Next you can try rebooting it to see if that would help and lastly there have been cases before where the Port has been denied so it’s a good idea to contact DigitalOcean’s support and see if that’s the case now.
