Changing the default port adds an extra layer of security by making it less predictable for potential attackers. In this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through the process of changing the default SSH port on a Linux system.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<h2 id=\"step-1-connect-to-your-server\"><strong>Step 1: Connect to Your Server<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Before making any changes, ensure you are logged in to your Linux server with administrative privileges. You can use the\u00a0<code>ssh<\/code>\u00a0command to access your server:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre class=\" language-bash\"><code class=\"prism language-bash\"><span class=\"token function\">ssh<\/span> username@server_ip\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Replace\u00a0<code>username<\/code>\u00a0with your actual username and\u00a0<code>server_ip<\/code>\u00a0with the IP address of your server.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<h2 id=\"step-2-backup-ssh-configuration\"><strong>Step 2: Backup SSH Configuration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>It\u2019s always a good practice to create a backup of configuration files before making changes. Create a backup of the SSH configuration file:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre class=\" language-bash\"><code class=\"prism language-bash\"><span class=\"token function\">sudo<\/span> <span class=\"token function\">cp<\/span> \/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config \/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config_backup\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<h2 id=\"step-3-edit-ssh-configuration\"><strong>Step 3: Edit SSH Configuration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Use a text editor to modify the SSH configuration file. We\u2019ll use the\u00a0<code>nano<\/code>\u00a0editor, but you can use any text editor you\u2019re comfortable with:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre class=\" language-bash\"><code class=\"prism language-bash\"><span class=\"token function\">sudo<\/span> <span class=\"token function\">nano<\/span> \/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Locate the line that specifies the default SSH port. By default, it is:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre><code>Port 22\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<h2 id=\"step-4-change-the-port-number\"><strong>Step 4: Change the Port Number<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Change the port number to your desired value. Choose a number that is not commonly used and not reserved for other services. For example, you can use\u00a0<code>2222<\/code>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre><code>Port 2222\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<h2 id=\"step-5-save-and-exit\"><strong>Step 5: Save and Exit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>After making the change, save the file by pressing\u00a0<code>Ctrl<\/code>\u00a0+\u00a0<code>O<\/code>, then press\u00a0<code>Enter<\/code>. To exit the editor, press\u00a0<code>Ctrl<\/code>\u00a0+\u00a0<code>X<\/code>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"draculas-high-performance-sneaker-bot-servers\">Dracula&#8217;s High-Performance Sneaker Bot Servers<\/h2>\n<p>Score limited-edition kicks and stay ahead in the game with our high-performance Sneaker Servers.

For example, using\u00a0<code>iptables<\/code>, you can run:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre class=\" language-bash\"><code class=\"prism language-bash\"><span class=\"token function\">sudo<\/span> iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2222 -j ACCEPT\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Make sure to replace\u00a0<code>2222<\/code>\u00a0with the port you\u2019ve chosen. If you\u2019re using a different firewall management tool, adjust the rule accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<h2 id=\"step-8-test-the-new-configuration\"><strong>Step 8: Test the New Configuration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Before closing your current SSH session, open a new terminal window and attempt to connect to the server using the new port:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre class=\" language-bash\"><code class=\"prism language-bash\"><span class=\"token function\">ssh<\/span> -p 2222 username@server_ip\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Replace\u00a0<code>2222<\/code>\u00a0with the port you\u2019ve set,\u00a0<code>username<\/code>\u00a0with your username, and\u00a0<code>server_ip<\/code>\u00a0with your server\u2019s IP address. If the connection is successful, you\u2019ve configured the new SSH port correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<h2 id=\"step-9-disable-root-login-optional\"><strong>Step 9: Disable Root Login (Optional)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>For added security, consider disabling root login via SSH. Locate the following line in the SSH configuration file:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre><code>PermitRootLogin yes\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Change\u00a0<code>yes<\/code>\u00a0to\u00a0<code>no<\/code>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<pre><code>PermitRootLogin no\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-preview-section\">\n<p>Changing the default SSH port is a valuable security measure to protect your Linux server from unauthorized access.
