Описание: Please visit my channel    / @onemarcfifty  
In this episode we have a look into basic linux security on a vps and I will show 3 basic security settings for linux:

basic linux security settings for linux like configuring and securing ssh, securing ssh server with ssh-keygen , firewall ufw but also using a non root user with useradd or usermod can greatly increase the basic vps security.
The linux firewall setup of course is crucial as well, we will use the linux firewall ufw to achieve this.
