Do you get some errors associated with sshd in /var/log/messages ?

Did you modify

/etc/ssh/sshd_config recently ?

Show whole output of "systemctl status sshd.service" and "journalctl -xe".

only 22 port, from 22 to custom one..

[overseer]

Maybe incorrect syntax within /etc/ssh/ssd_config?
Is your custom port open in the CSF firewall?

Did you check /var/log/messages ?

Also, do you use some security addons like SELinux ? What does "sestatus" show ? Run it as root in shell.

*sestatus*: disabled


I solv the problem,

In /var/log/messages i found this log:

Failed to start OpenSSH server deamon
Unable to load host key

After that i type this command:

/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -A

RESTULT was:

ssh-keygen: generating new host key: RSA DSA ECDSA ED...

after that reboot host, and works
