Firewall on Amahi server

[swhite58]

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

Code: Select all

from="pattern-list"

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
