Tomorrow I made a droplet and this morning I have the error
ssh -vvvv root@165.232.147.254
OpenSSH_8.6p1, LibreSSL 2.8.3

Hi @volodyaschneider,
It seems to me like your IP address is not allowed to reach port 22 or the method you are using to authenticate is not turned on by the droplet.
Having said that, most probably the issue is with port 22. In such cases, you’ll need to use the DigitalOcean’s Recovery Console to get access to your Droplet back and allow SSH connections.
Check the following documentation about the matter:
Following the steps, there will allow you to gain access to your Droplet and allow connections for your IP on port 22.
Hello, @volodyaschneider
If you filter any traffic to your droplet via a Cloud Firewall you can temporary disable all rules in order to regain access to your server.

On the other hand if you filter traffic on port 22 via UFW you can then use the DigitalOcean console as per KFSys’s suggestion in order to restore the normal access to your droplet.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
