What ports tend to be unfiltered by boneheaded firewalls?
- by Reid
Hi all,
I like to be able to ssh into my server (shocking, I know). The problem comes when I'm traveling, where I face a variety of firewalls in hotels and other institutions, having a variety of configurations, sometimes quite boneheaded.
I'd like to set up an sshd listening on a port that has a high probability of getting through this mess. Any suggestions?
The sshd currently listens on a nonstandard (but < 1024) port to avoid script kiddies knocking on the door. This port is frequently blocked, as is the other nonstandard port where my IMAP server lives.
I have services running on ports 25 and 80 but anything else is fair game. I was thinking 443 perhaps.
Much appreciated!
Reid
