SSH on port 443

[maxrussell]

I've set my sshd config to use port 443. I've also set my ISP firewall and router firewall to accept port 443. I can run

ssh -p 443 localhost

and log in. However, when I try and run it using my dyndyns name, the shell hangs/no response is returned to the command.

I've been googling and I've been hacking. What am I missing please?

EDIT - sorry, had multiple tabs open and posted this in the wrong place, could a mod please move it to a more appropriate section if deemed necessary?

I was wondering why someone would post a guide on changing a single config file directive.

Let's see the output of:

• % sockstat -4l
• % ifconfig

What sort of router are you using? If you're on private IP space and using NAT, it may be that you need to forward tcp 443 requests to your internal server.

Additionally, it may not be possible it ssh to your modem's/NAT device's external IP address from an internal network. You should probably test this from somewhere else on the 'net.

needed ddclient, portforwarding of 443 on my router and a modification of /etc/hosts. Seems okay now, will check from an outside location at earliest opportunity.

And?

I've been using ssh via port 443 to my home network from remote locations for quite some time and was surprised (at first) to see that it might not work. I also use this configuration to secure any web traffic for those that are so inclined.

Nothing to add here, just wondering if the OP was able to correct the issue.
