Somewhat of a noob here - worried about security.
While away from home, I have the need to access my home network through ssh. I have set up the following:
Through tests and reading, I find it a very slow process to identify the open port on my outside network. And even if the open port is discovered, I can't find any utility which identifies what that open port is used for.
I know that there is no setup that is completely "unhackable", but does anyone see a glaring vulnerability here?
While away from home, I have the need to access my home network through ssh. I have set up the following:
- Through my router, I have port forwarded a random 5 digit port number to port 22 on one of my Linux machines.
- The (Linux machine) ssh server service requires a private / public key login
- Root login is disabled
