Changing SSH Port
| Posted by arda000, 08-25-2010, 02:13 AM |
| Hello;
I want to change my default port in sshd_config.
After changing the default port, is it necessary to remove port 22 And adding specified port to APF firewall?
By thw way can i login with my new port like this way?
ssh username@127.0.0.1:MYPORTNUMBER
Thank you

| Yes you should block port 22 after you change the port. You should allow the new port on your firewall. Block all ports except the ones you need.

| and make sure you have opened the new port in your firewall before changing the port and restarting SSHD - or you will find yourself locked out of your server lol

| how can i test if it's opened or not before changing my SSH port?
Is devmode=1 on APF can be a solution to test it?
Thanks
