This is why I love having a static IP.
sudo ufw allow from your.ip.addr to tcp port 22
Rest of the world doesnt know I have ssh up and if I'm ever in a hotel or something I can tunnel through my home or login to DO's panel and allow another ip
- aroch 13y agoI have essentially a static IP (A 'dynamic' IP with a 6month lease that stays the same on renewal and follows my account regardless of where I live), but you're super fucked if for some reason your IP changes. I usually set it to the /24 I'm assigned from.

- fredsted 13y agoI could imagine this being quite dangerous, like being on holiday, there's a power outage, fire, ISP error, etc at home and no way to control your server.

- bananas 13y agoDon't do that. I did that once and our static ip changed suddenly despite lots of money being spent on it. That was a painful day driving from London to Manchester for me to get to the console.
- rschmitty 13y agoThere is a web console, you never have to drive... or worry :)
