Hi Michael & Dan, Thanks for the research and sharing of the information. I think that it's helpful. What I have done for our hosting network is created an ACL at the gateway router that restricts access to port 22 to only a couple of our IPs (our office LAN and one remote system). Note that works best when you've got a static IP that you access your server(s) from. Any VIRTBIZ dedicated server or colocation customers that would like to discuss adding some similar restrictions at the gateway level, please touch base with me or Darryl off-list. There are a couple of considerations that we'll want to cover before just rolling it in for you. Blocking with an ACL at a routing level is one of a handful of techniques that can be leveraged effectively. I don't present it as the "only" or "best" option, since the "best" option will be the one that works most cleanly and efficiently for your particular purposes and set of circumstances. In the case of our hosting network, it seems to be a pretty sensible option. -- Chris Gebhardt VIRTBIZ Internet Services Access, Web Hosting, Colocation, Dedicated www.virtbiz.com | toll-free (866) 4 VIRTBIZ _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
