Explanation

Network ACLs are stateless, and they evaluate each packet separately based on the rules that you define. The rules are processed in order, starting with the lowest numbered rule. If the traffic matches a rule, the rule is applied and no further rules are evaluated.

Otherwise, the deny rule will take precedence and block the SSH
