Cloud servers without SSH open to the world

Fiona installs the unattended client on the cloud servers, closes port 22 and still reaches every machine by SSH at its usual address.

Fiona about Awacino

What I like
SSH works as before, but port 22 no longer faces the internet.
Use case
I use Awacino to reach our cloud servers and office machines by SSH and RDP without open ports.
What works better than with alternative solutions
No bastion host, no IP allow-lists to maintain and no open SSH port for scanners to find.

The story

A cloud server with SSH open to the world gets thousands of login attempts a day. With the unattended Awacino client on the server, Fiona closes the port in the firewall and connects directly and encrypted.

We are filming this tutorial right now. Until it is here, the parts of Awacino it uses are linked below - and you can try the same with two free slots.

What the tutorial will show

  1. Install the unattended client on the cloud server
  2. Connect by SSH through Awacino
  3. Close port 22 in the cloud firewall
  4. Hand out and revoke codes
