I’m trying to login to a newly created freebsd droplet but it isn’t letting me. When I created the droplet, I chose my ssh key to use (as it was the only option) I’ve tried logging as root, freebsd and toor. Is there another username I should be using?

I just spun up a test droplet and was able to successfully connect. If you’re still experiencing this problem, please open a support ticket so the team can take a closer look.
