I set firewall to my droplet to block all inbound.
However, I am still able to connect sftp port 22
This is not logical. Is the droplet firewall a firewall or is it not a firewall?

Hello,
I’ve just tested this and it seems to be working as expected.
Note that you need to make sure that you add the droplet that you want to protect to your firewall. So to do do the following:
- Go to your Control Panel at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/
- Then go to
Networking - Then click on
Firewalls - After that click on your Firewall
- Click on
Dropletsand hit theAdd Dropletbutton - In the search box, type the name of your Droplet and click add
That way you would assign your Droplet to your Firewall and your firewall rules would be activated.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
