SSH-keys ipv4 ipv6 connection issue
Update: I found this question which seems to be very related. Not sure how exactly.
What am I missing? I can only use ssh when it resolves through https hostnames? Normal ssh it hangs kinda like encryption keys aren't working, but I am using keys that I know have worked in the past.

If you want to connect to a particular port on the remote system with ssh, you should be using the -p option:
ssh -p 2222 j@10.0.0.231
When the target address does not look like an IP number, which it does not do if you add :2222 to the end of it, ssh will try to resolve the whole string 10.0.0.231:2222 as a hostname using DNS.
If you find yourself connecting to this host on this port often, you may want to set up a configuration for it to make it easier. Edit (or create) your ~/.ssh/config file and add
Host thehost
User j
HostName 10.0.0.231
Port 2222
and then use
ssh thehost

@JacobBruck Thesshclient may say "connection timed out" when you use it with an IP address, but it would not say "could not resolve hostname" since you're not giving it a hostname. Could you please re-run your test and insert the proper error message in the question?
