How to SSH when default port is blocked
If port 22 is disabled on your network (you're getting timeouts on a public wifi network) you can force ssh connections to use https instead. | |
On your linux server, edit `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` and find `Port 22`. Comment it out and use port 443 instead. | |
# If you want to change the port on a SELinux system, you have to tell | |
# SELinux about this change. | |
# semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp #PORTNUMBER | |
# Port 22 | |
Port 443 | |
Then run `service sshd restart` | |
From your client you should now be able to connect from port 443 |
