A username needs to be specified for putty to be able to connect to the
SSH server.
So after a fresh install of Debian in putty try to enter the username
and the password of the non-root user you have created at install time.


For the time being  clear any rules in iptables and try to install
Debian with SSH pkg and see how it goes from there.


I have no problem accessing my servers on Stretch or Buster after an
upgrade from Stretch to Buster or after an fresh install of both releases.
