port 22: Connection timed out

The problem is MTU related try setting your client’s network card mtu smaller for example

ifconfig enp10s0 mtu 1000 (linux)

thanks a lot for : run $sudo ufw allow 22

Hello! I had the same problem and it persists even after enabling port 22 in the firewall.

In my case (I estimate that for having too many ssh keys) I had to initialize the ssh agent and add the key “manually”. And it worked.

The steps I followed were:

To initialize the ssh agent

eval $ (ssh-agent -s)

To add the key

ssh-add -i ~ / .ssh / key

— If your password has a paraphrase, you should insert it — In my case, the key was in the ~ / .ssh / directory and was called “key”, check the names of your files and replace them.

To enter the Droplet via ssh

ssh -i ~ / .ssh / key root @ droplet-ip

— It is important to add the argument “-i” to the ssh command and tell it the full path where your key is located — Then you can indicate with which user and to which IP you will connect

I hope it works for you too.

Regards
