It may be more correct to state that this is opening up any traffic to 22, not just 2222

This PR addresses the issue where containers on Shadeform and its sub-providers were unable to build or accept SSH connections due to an iptables rule that dropped inbound traffic to Docker containers.
The change allows traffic to reach container SSH mapped via VM port 2222 → container port 22, while keeping existing protections that block other container ports from the internet.
