# Server Hardening
|
|
|
|
Steps to harden the Hetzner CX21 production server.
|
|
|
|
## UFW Firewall
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install and enable
|
|
apt install -y ufw
|
|
ufw default deny incoming
|
|
ufw default allow outgoing
|
|
ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
|
ufw allow 80/tcp # HTTP (Caddy redirect)
|
|
ufw allow 443/tcp # HTTPS
|
|
ufw enable
|
|
ufw status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Fail2ban (SSH protection)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install
|
|
apt install -y fail2ban
|
|
|
|
# Create config
|
|
cat > /etc/fail2ban/jail.local << 'EOF'
|
|
[sshd]
|
|
enabled = true
|
|
port = ssh
|
|
filter = sshd
|
|
logpath = /var/log/auth.log
|
|
maxretry = 5
|
|
bantime = 3600
|
|
findtime = 600
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
# Start
|
|
systemctl enable fail2ban
|
|
systemctl start fail2ban
|
|
|
|
# Check status
|
|
fail2ban-client status sshd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## SSH Hardening
|
|
|
|
Already in place:
|
|
- Key-based auth only (password auth disabled by Hetzner cloud-init)
|
|
- Root login via SSH key only
|
|
|
|
Optional improvements:
|
|
- Change SSH port (security through obscurity, mild benefit)
|
|
- Add `AllowUsers root` to `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` to restrict SSH users
