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?

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.
