To solve SSH connection timeout errors, enable SSH ports within host firewall access rule registries.
Open Port 22 Firewalls
Configure host cloud security policies and the local UFW firewall to allow traffic through port 22.
# Step 1: Clear Local Server Firewalls
1. Log into your server console.
2. Update firewall access lists:
``bash
# Add port 22 rules via UFW manager
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw reload
`
3. Ensure server daemons run properly: sudo systemctl restart ssh`.
