Add 162.243.190.66 to your whitelist as well as 162.243.188.66. The web console for the droplet is definitely affected by firewalls restricting SSH on port 22. I had the exact same issues using the DigitalOcean built in firewall and cured it by adding these 2 IP address for SSH on port 22. We definitely need a list from DigitalOcean as the Conssole IP address changes after reboot or poweroffs.

I’m getting the same error. And while checking a UFW log I noticed that there were rejected connections from 162.243.188.66. DigitalOcean should show us a list of IPs from where access should be allowed.

I’m having the exact same issue.
