    Works fine here, no issues with the Firewall. So probably something specific to OVH and their setup or do you use SSH on a different port? The default SSH port is in the list, so it does not get closed.

    Effectively, as OVH is recommending it for security reasons, I did change default port 22 for SSH to another port number. Should I add this new port number to the TCP port list in ISPConfig-dashboard/system/firewall ?

    Adding new port to TCP port list solved the issue, thanks !
    However, I don't remember to have ever faced this issue with previous Ubuntu 20.04 version... !

    If you close a port in a firewall that you use, then this must stop connections. No matter which Ubuntu version you use.
