Hello, I've been trying to setup SSH keys with git so that I can push to Github without a password. But it doesn't seem to be working. So far I've generated a public private key pair using the command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com" (with my personal email of course.) I...

This is less a FreeBSD question and more of an ssh question, but I'm open to FreeBSD answers :). Is it possible to use ssh to log in to my server without setting up the ssh daemon? In my mind, I thought it'd be easy... something along the lines of ssh -l 22 on fenris and then remoting to fenris...

Hi, looking for help. Whenever I start/restart the PF service (sudo service pf start), my SSH tunnel disconnects (and hangs locally). I have to kill the process locally or let it timeout, and reconnect in order to continue. Though I don't interfere with pf service often, this dropping of...

I'm using /etc/hosts to resolve several local hosts for ages, but recently discovered that now (FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p3) ssh tries to resolve them via DNS first which causes huge delays. I couldn't find any specific setting for that. Am I missing anything? Thanks for advises!

Hello All, With all the fuzz and issues with security and privacy these days I decided to give it a go with a VPN, mostly for the fun and challenge. I am partially done with a scenario that sounds very typical these days, although it is not necessary plain vanilla. The overall idea is...
