The best way to SSH to DDWRT is: - Enable it in the DD-WRT UI: Services - Secure Shell section.
- SSHd: Enable
- SSH TCP Forwarding: Disable
- Password Login: Disable
- Port: an uncommon port (definitely not 22)
- Authorized Key: copy paste your public SSH key. It can start with ssh-rsa and end with your email address. If you need to generate a public SSH key see the WSL example here.
- SSH to the router securely without having to deal with a password using the command:
- ssh [router ip] -p [ssh port] -l root
That is it! Easy! |
