  • this is nice and thorough, would you recommend changing the ssh port away from it's default 22 beforehand or is this unnecessary? Commented Oct 30, 2015 at 7:54

    If you change it to a port outside the standard range, ie high port number, it will be more hidden. Personally, I like using the standard ports. If you plan to use the same computer to access the "SSH Server" you can deshabiliar authentication by username and password and use RSA _authentication system. Another security measure is to disable the _root login over SSH. Commented Oct 30, 2015 at 10:40
