Why SSH works only on the standard port?
When I change the Port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config I get "Connection refused" error. When Port is 22 I can connect to server without any problems. How to fix it?

For others that have this problem: Try using the IP address.
I had just transferred the domain to cloudflare and cloudflare blocks everything except http/s traffic.
To fix that, use the IP address directly or add a ssh.example.com entry to your DNS records. Or just use your local ~/.ssh/config to set your Host setting to your IP.
Don't forget firewalls:
After changing the ssh port are you restarting your ssh service?
Unless the service is restarted the changes to your configuration will not take effect.
Of course, I restart ssh but it has not affected.
Did you open the new port your using in your firewall?
I don't use firewall, It is a new droplet. I follow step by step of this tutorial and earlier all work properly.
I have the same problem. SSH works on port 22, but on other port.
I use a LAMP droplet.
