How to SSH when default port is blocked
Raw
gistfile1.txt
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
