Raw Commands

Before Privacy & Analytics Existed

This is what you'd have to do manually without Privacy & Analytics. We don't recommend it.

SSH into server

Connect to audit security.

terminal

ssh root@your-server-ip

Check open ports

See what's exposed.

terminal

netstat -tlnp
# Or:
ss -tlnp
# Now figure out which ports should be open

Review SSH config

Check security settings.

terminal

cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -E "^[^#]"
# PermitRootLogin yes  <- BAD
# PasswordAuthentication yes  <- RISKY
# Fix each one manually

Configure firewall

Set up UFW rules.

terminal

ufw status
ufw allow 22/tcp
ufw allow 80/tcp
ufw allow 443/tcp
ufw enable
# Lock yourself out? Hope you have console access!

Wrong rule = locked out of your server.

Install Fail2ban

Set up brute-force protection.

terminal

apt install fail2ban
cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
# Configure manually...
systemctl enable fail2ban
systemctl start fail2ban
