Can your problem be the new ISP is blocking most inbound ports? Not sure
just how SSH works, but I recently ran into something that made me do
some head-scratching.
I changed from Spectrum to a local company that provides fiber to the
house. Before the change, I was getting probes coming in on an average
of one every 8.5 seconds. After the change to the new ISP, that dropped
down to zero. Whatever they were doing in handing out IP addresses, it
was just like I was sitting behind a router, and only responses to
outbound requests were permitted in. So, all the continuous probes were
getting blocked.
I had considered going with a VPN -- that might be an option for you.
In my case, I went for a fixed IP address (an extra charge item) and now
all the probes are back. And, again, people can connect in to my
router, and beyond if need be.
Sorry about the top posting. But you know what you wrote, so I will
leave it in below.

Well, I know what I wrote, but most folks will have already seen it,
so I took out the quoted part.
