Hello I am wondering if there is increased network/packet security by connecting to a server over ssh through a VPN hosted by that same server as opposed to without first tunneling by VPN. I imagine with or without tunneling through a VPN there would be latency/speed differences too?
You would either configure the Linux firewall of the router or server to drop everything on the SSH port not from the VPN IP/interface or change the ListenAdress in /etc/ssh/sshd , but be careful: Don’t lock yourself out!
Thank you for the info! This is very helpful to me.
