Hey,
I changed the default ssh port from 22 to a different one and then restarted the ssh service on the vm , and then in order to check the changes are working or not I tried to ssh to the vm on a different powershell window on my machine without logging out of the connected one but I cannot ssh to the vm using the new port no I am getting Connection timed out error . But if I change the port no to default that is 22 I can ssh into the vm can anyone help me with this?
