Hi, i dropped port 22 on the server using iptabes, it is my mistake.

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP

How i can get access to server?
Have you direct access to the server?

You'll need to log in through the web console to get back into your droplet.

  1. Go to https://cloud.digitalocean.com/droplets
  2. Select your droplet
  3. Click the blue "Console Access" button in the top right corner
  4. Log in

Thank Derik Olsson (DigitalOcean Support) for it.

    To open the port 22 use next command:
    iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

    To flush iptables (remove all records) use:
    iptables -F
