SSH over Port Forward | Please Help

[TheCoder2019]

I have a Linux machine that I need to run commands on. I have 19132 open for Minecraft, when I try to SSH through it, I can’t connect. Any ideas how to get this to work? If there is can you answer?

What port is minecraft running on ? You normally can't have minecraft and ssh on the same port, and would need a new port for ssh.

19132 for Minecraft, Raspberry Pi running Linux

[Orthusaku]

What port do you have open for SSH?

[TheCoder2019]

The only port that’s open is 19132, for Minecraft

@Orthusaku

well your gonna have to open a different port, and setup the ssh server to use that port

 

[Levent]

Well than its no surprise you cant SSH into your RPI then. You need to have a separate port for your minecraft server and your SSH connection.

[Master Disaster]

SSH runs on Port 22 (usually).

[RafaelSoaresP]

You would need to open a port specific to SSH. I would absolutelly recommend AGAINST doing it though, as it's imensely dangerous to open such service to the web directly. 
Try to setup a VPN to your network and use SSH trough it.

When I’m at home 22 works with no problem

Is there a .config file to change the port SSH runs on?

You will need to open another port on the box by default this is port 22 for SSH, and have SSH server running. If you are using the raspbian distro of linux on your PI this guide should help you: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/enable-ssh-raspberry-pi
 

You can edit the sshd_config file to change the port, but you will still need two separate ports one for minecraft and one for ssh.

It will change on the SSH service provider. I'm not aware of configs specific to minecraft servers, but my advice still applies. Do not open it to the web, do it via VPN or remote access.

You dont seem to understand the fact that you need to have TWO separate ports forwarded in order to have access to both your minecraft server and ssh into your RPI. You can always edit your ssh port but in your case its gonna fix what you are trying to do.

Okay, so if I may ask a few questions to help understand the exact situation, and what is going on and where the exact problem is located.

 

How do you access the PI when you set it up?

 

Can you access SSH when you are on the same network?

 

Are you trying to access SSH while on a remote network?

 

Have you opened and port forwarded ssh port to the PI on the router to allow remote networks to ssh?

1. Physical Display

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. No, and can I use -p in command prompt?

is it safe to open 22 in the first place?

So this looks like your router is not configured to allow you access to the pi while on a remote network. You can not use the -p unless you have already configured the router to forward traffic from a different port to the pi and configured the pi to accept ssh request over that port.

You will either need to setup a port forward to allow remote ssh, or if possible setup a vpn server on your router/network and use vpn creds on your laptop or remote device to log into your network so you don't have to expose ssh to the public internet.

Cannot afford VPN

SSH is not safe

cannot install VPN certs
 

how dangerous is SSH to be opened to the web?

Restricted on my schools policy, we use CK (Content Keeper) and IU17, and JAMF for MDM. The worst services ever created. I’ll check it out at home. Do I have to add this cert to my iPad? If so, that won’t work

See my edit, I linked to the wrong guide.

 

Nah, it should work by importing the cert to the server which the server uses to check clients. Not sure if an iPad can connect to a VPN or not though.

It can, just restricted

After opening VPN, setting it up, and NOT using DDNS, will I still need to open SSH? So if I’m right, I need to open 19132, 22, and 1194
