Using SSH instead of telnet

In my last article I explained how to enable port forwarding for telnet on the Netgear router. However performing port forwarding for ssh is trivial as well and at the same time much secure. I am assuming that your home Linux box is running the sshd service.

Now on the router side go to the Netgear administrator page and then browse to "Advanced -> Port Forwarding". Click "Add Custom Service" and enter values shown below.



You can now log into your Linux box by sshing to the static IP assigned to your router.
