Comment on Do I Need to Harden SSH over Tor?
thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 5 months agoEasy. I have servers that are only available on my local network and lots of different devices that I MIGHT want to use to access those servers. I haven’t bothered to make sure my key is on EVERY SINGLE DEVICE and some of them, I might not actually even WANT my key on as they’re not terribly well secured and they might leave my house (my Windows gaming laptop I haven’t used in six months comes to mind).
But for cloud accessible servers… yeah.

You know you’re allowed (some might even say supposed) to have different keys for different machines. They’re basically free to generate and take up to no space.

I use a different key for every device I need to connect to.
So my phone has separate keys for each SSH server and so does my desktop and laptop.
It’s not the most convenient thing in the world but it’s not too bad.
Most of the keys are without passphrase but the keys I use to connect to my VPS for example absolutely have a passphrase.
