As soon as a Linux server connects to the internet, automated bots target port 22 with continuous brute-force password attempts. Implementing fundamental hardening steps immediately is vital.

Protected SSH & Apps

Only authentic Ed25519 keypairs gain console shell access.

1. SSH Key Authentication & Disabling Passwords#

Generate an Ed25519 keypair on your local machine, copy it to your server, then disable password logins:

Yerel Terminal / PowerShell
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "admin@clodo"
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub root@SUNUCU_IP
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/99-hardened.conf
PasswordAuthentication no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PermitRootLogin prohibit-password

2. Setting Up UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall)#

Allow strictly necessary ports and block everything else:

Sunucu Terminali
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw enable

3. Security Management Comparison#

How this maps to a Clodo service

Container model

Clodo plans are managed containers; the operating system and SSH daemon are not yours to configure. Most of the steps above therefore do not apply to a Clodo service -- here is what replaces them.

Paneldə harada? Panel > Service detail > SFTP card shows the username, host and port you need for file access.
Addım-addım icra:
  1. 1There is no root access or SSH shell; you reach files through the panel file manager or SFTP. That also means you cannot lock yourself out with a bad rule.
  2. 2You do not manage a firewall such as UFW; your service is reachable only on the port assigned in the panel, and everything else is already closed.
  3. 3Account security lives in your Clodo account rather than on the server: enable two-factor authentication and keep your panel password to yourself.
  4. 4To filter web traffic, you do it at the edge rather than on the box -- attach your domain to Cloudflare; see the Cloudflare WAF guide.
