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.

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.

    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?

    Reload the page and try to access the console again. If that doesn't work, please open a support ticket so the team can look into why the console isn't loading.
