Hello Everyone,
After installing my droplet (Ubuntu 18.04) I am trying to change the default ssh port (port 22), I tried several ports and on testing the connection times out, HYG what I tried so far:
Don’t know what else to try, can it be related to UFW and how to check/change this?
Thanks

Hello, @aymanroshdy2019
You can use telnet or nmap to see if the port is actually open and if you’re able to receive connections on it:
Let us know how it goes.
Hello,
If the UFW is enabled you need to put the new port in allow list.
sudo ufw allow <NewPort> sudo ufw reload
