How to protect your server from intrusion – 5 simple steps

Running your own server gives freedom and control — but also responsibility. Here are five practical steps that immediately make your Linux server more secure.

Why server security matters

Many people set up a server, install their services — and stop there. Default settings, open ports, and weak login methods make the server an easy target.

These five steps are easy to implement and give a clear security boost immediately.

  1. Switch from passwords to SSH keys

    Here's how:

    • Generate a key with ssh-keygen
    • Upload the key to the server using ssh-copy-id
    • Disable password login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

  2. Change the default SSH port

    Bots constantly scan the internet for servers listening on port 22. By changing the port — for example to 2222, you reduce automated attacks significantly.

    Here's how:

    • Open /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    • Change Port 22 to something like Port 2222
    • Open the new port in your firewall before restarting SSH

  3. Install and configure Fail2ban

    Fail2ban monitors logs and blocks IP addresses after a number of failed login attempts. It's an effective protection against brute-force attacks.

    Here's how:

    • Install: sudo apt install fail2ban
    • Create or edit /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
    • Start the service with sudo systemctl enable --now fail2ban

  4. Enable a firewall (UFW)

    A firewall ensures that only necessary traffic is allowed. On Ubuntu, UFW is a simple interface for controlling which ports are open.

    Example:

    sudo ufw allow 80     # HTTP
sudo ufw allow 443    # HTTPS
sudo ufw allow 2222   # din SSH-port
sudo ufw enable

  5. Keep the system updated

    Security updates patch known vulnerabilities. One of the most important — and most overlooked — steps is to update regularly.

    Basic command::

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

    Want to automate security updates?

    sudo apt install unattended-upgrades

No server is ever 100 % secure – but with these five steps, you’re well on your way:

  • Use SSH keys instead of passwords
  • Change the default SSH port
  • Install and configure Fail2ban
  • Enable UFW and only open necessary ports
  • Keep the system and packages up to date
