I created a new droplet from a backup of a production server droplet in the control panel. OS is Ubuntu 16.04
I was expecting to be able to SSH to the new droplet with ssh root@<ip address> but I get ssh: connect to host 168.71.110.191 port 22: Operation timed out
I can access the new droplet via the control panel console. When I run systemctl status ssh I see:
ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service; enabled; vendor preset: enab
Active: inactive (dead)
Any ideas why systemd would kill the SSH service? Why would creating a droplet from a backup “break” SSH?

Hey there! Is there a Cloud Firewall or software firewall filtering traffic for port 22?
**Nmap scan report for 168.71.110.191 Host is up.
PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp filtered ssh**
