    ssh only accessible from internal

    Hi,

    I have a server that is used for VPN, so it is attached to an external IP and an internal IP. I would like to make it so that I can only ssh into it using the internal IP (for security purposes). Is there a way to prevent ssh from allowing connections on one of its IP's?

    Thanks for the help,
    Eric

    Have you checked hosts.allow and hosts.deny?

    You should be able to specify only one subnet to allow, which would effectively block out the external connections.

    thanks, it worked

    I got it working thanks. What I did was to edit the hosts.allow and the hosts.deny with the following:

    hosts.deny:
    sshd: ALL

    hosts.allow:
    sshd:192.168.
