Hi i have some idea

1)Maybe just reload ssh service, dont need to restart (hangup signal).
2)We need to listen on management interface only instead of all of interface.
3) maybe we need password login for console to fix some problem, so ssh connect only accepts passwordless.

Thanks for the informative video. I just noticed that on my Debian 10.9, I have a jail.d/default-debian.conf file that is by default set to [sslh] enable=true. I wondered why it does not accept my changes to jail.local file and keeps using just 1 jail until I added the enable=true to the default-debian.conf file. Maybe others run into the same issue and this helps them.

Wont dist-upgrade upgrade to the next available distribution if there is one? Shouldn't you just apt update then apt upgrade?

[nujufas]

I like your videos, But sometimes I feel there are unrelated topics covered - In this video at the beginning it was all about updating the server.
