Hello,
In addition to what has been mentioned, I advise against using a reserved port for SSH, 443 is a reserved TCP port for HTTPS:

use
to check if somethng is LISTENING on port 443 then shutdown that service or change its port
you should also check if there is any firewall rules on that port
hope it helps.
OK, i try 80 port and it’s working, this is useful
thanks for answer but i use only ssh server, no web server.
Are you running a web server with SSL? If so, then your web service would already be using port 443 and you should select a different one. You should be able to access your droplet to do this via the web console in the control panel.
