Comcast

[John Abreau]

I gave up on inbound ssh ports on my home firewall a couple years ago.
These days, I use OpenVPN, where the vpn server is outside my house,
and all my machines at home are vpn clients. I can then ssh into them
over the vpn, and I don't have to open the ssh port on my firewall.
