Trouble with SSH via PuTTY
I want to use putty for X11 Forwarding. I asked ChatGPT for help figuring this out, showing it the ssh connection popup.
1. I took the ed25519 private key I had generated from before (the public key of which I already put on my profile)
2. Used puttygen to convert it to a ppk, then went back to PuTTY and stuck that ppk in SSH -> Auth -> Credentials
3. Wrote in 194.26.196.142 for the IP addresss and Port 22
And then I tried to open up a terminal and it asked for a 'login as: ". I wasn't sure, so I just wrote in root, and then it said 'Server refused our key', and then asked for 'root@194.26.196.142's password: ' so I wrote in the one for my private key but it still didn't work.
Anyone got any clue where I'm going wrong?

Solution
For that you would need setup true ssh also remember to expose port 22 over TCP (note external port is random assigned so you will need to set it)
