I am a student and I keep most of my files on my home computer. Unfortunately, i can't use ssh or scp from my laptop which I use at school because of the firewall. I was thinking about trying to use port 443 because that might be open.My question is: I have multiple computers in my house and so I am using a router. Would it be bad if i were to port forward 443 to my computer?I'm not sure if there are any security issues related with this or if it would screw anything up when trying to use https from my other computers.
Is it bad to port forward port 443 for ssh?
ssh;firewall;port forwarding
It should work fine, it's not more secure than using a different port for ssh (or less secure for that matter). And no, outbound TCP sockets are not the same as inbound TCP sockets - so it should not interfere with your outbound network traffic.
