- hotpotamus 5y agoYou mean, like just login to a server without going through layers of cloud providers? How would that work? For real, I can't imagine running a straight port 22 ssh service on the modern internet, but I'm usually happy just moving it to an unprivileged port for obscurity on personal equipment (plus some other common sense hardening of course). For work stuff, I'd feel naked without some sort of VPN and it seems that's essentially what these services are.
- drawfloat 5y agoWith passwords disabled and just using key authentication, is there a big risk of just doing a straight port 22 ssh? Genuine question, my knowledge of server security is low-to-middle.
- hotpotamus 5y agoI've seen servers get hit with so many ssh login attempts that it runs out of resources to respond, effectively DOSing ssh at least. Moving it to a high port usually cuts out all the chatter.
