I am an admin of the VPS that has 198.211.125.185 ip address. Today I connected it via ssh and enabled the firewall. Unfortunately I forgot to open ssh port. After closing the ssh connection I can’t reconnect to my VPS.

I disabled all the ports in the firewall except 80. I tried your way but it says “Failed to establish a connection to the console. Please reload”
Is there any chance for me to be saved from this?

Hello, @dnanzadragchaa!
You can unlock the SSH port yourself! Simply select your Droplet from from your Control Panel’s Droplet list, then Access → Console Access. It’ll start a VNC connection to your server, and your firewall will not block it.
Have a nice day, Alfio.
