How to SSH Into Raspberry Pi Without Monitor (Headless)

In this video you will learn how to connect you any Raspberry Pi device over SSH from the command line. This is a headless approach, meaning you won't need any peripheral devices such as keyboard, monitor, our mouse. If you are on a Windows 10 computer, than download the linux subsystem so you have a terminal to ssh from.

to find ip of the pi you dont really need the web window for ur router just get advansed ip scaner and connect to the 2.4 gig internet

Is there a way to change the SSID & password without having access to the SD card or any connectors (without having change your router SSID and password to some preconfigured values already in the Pi). Like a AP mode where you first wifi connect directly to the pi and then set the info for the local router. You know, the same way every $5 IOT device in the entire world works???? Even my dozen or so $1 ESP8266 embedded devices have this ability - if the STA_IF network isn't up I can have it bring up the AP_IF and connect connect and reconfigure things without physical connectivity.

easier way block all ip addresses except your own external ip on your ssh config inside your pi and ssh pi@{your External ip) bonus points if you connect with a ssh key

My pi doesn't have wifi, guy.
Headless with an ethernet adapter?
Not connected to a router.

[lechsiz]

only the router's web page worked for me to get the IP address.

 i chose Debian instead of Rasberry Pi OS and so cannot get in to SSH (those WPA and SSH files were already there, , though). For regular Debian, SSH has no default for security reasons, so I'd like to goto the SD card (while its in my PC) to add a few lines to a few files to add a user and password for SSH. I am hoping to `sudo nano ` my way through the process. Any ideas? i found the path to one or two of the correct ssh config files, but....am lost.
