Hi all,
Hope someone might help me:
I would like to configure my server as a gateway and dhcp server so I though I would use Firestarter as is seems straight forward to set up and ticks most boxes.
I am concerned about ssh security and like the idea of blocking IPs after a certain number of failed log-in attempts. I was thinking of using something like sshblack to administer this for me.
Is it possible (or necessary) to install both ssblack and firestater?
Thanks
PS I intend to use RSA keys rather than password authentication for the ssh server
