Access over SSH/Telent with Action logging

[vikozo]

Hello

to protect my network the Firewall drop all conection from outside over ssh or telnet!
But sometimes if something go wrong - i still should have access.

Would it be possible to have on the opnSense a vm which is open to access over SSH or Telnet. From there all action would be logged and from there it would be possiple to gain access to server or Switch or opnSense it self over telnet/ssh?

Hope to get a feedback

have e nice day

OPnsense has no telnet support by itself ant it will stay that way. It has OpenSSH (server and client) so you can use it as a jump host to telnet or SSH servers but I think OpenVPN is the better software for that use case.


Please try to get rid of telnet as it is insecure because the connection is not encrypted (minimum OPNsense to server).
