Hi
I need to install a firewall on my shiny new HDA, because I need to restrict SSH access from outside the network to single source IP range - my workplace. I'd use my router's firewall but it doesn't seem to support it.

I have a script I can adapt to make it work, but before I go down that road, is there any built-in HDA firewall app or interface? I can't find any, but I could have missed it.

Thanks

how about key-based only authentication? (no password)

you can set it in the settings for sshd.

in addition, you can also set the
setting to restrict where clients may connect from.

in other words, no need for firewall tangledness.

rtfm for sshd

Here is a link to the wiki on how to do it if your interested

Aha, a good idea. I will check it out.
