The idea was to put ssh on an unusual port. but I couldn't figure out how to close port 22, which was open by default on the router, apparently. I still don't see any way in its UI to do it, and didn't especially want to have to write a custom firewall rule. So I just forwarded WAN/22 to port 9 on the LAN side of the router. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .---- Fred Smith / ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / / / / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us / / (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 -------------------------------- Jude 1:24,25 ---------------------------------
