Changing SSH Port

By default, the SSH port on Linux systems is 22. However, you can change the SSH port on your server. It's a good practice to change the SSH port to enhance security. If someone tries to brute-force the default SSH port, they won't find the SSH service running.

There are 65,535 ports in a Linux system, and you can use any of them as long as no other service is using it. By using a random SSH port, you can significantly reduce the number of login attempts on your server. It also makes it harder for attackers to find the SSH port.
