Setting SSH UDP Custom / How to Setting SSH UDP Custom

SSH (Secure Shell) typically uses the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) for communication, not UDP (User Datagram Protocol). However, if you are looking for a way to tunnel SSH over UDP or use a custom configuration, you might be interested in tools like stunnel or udp2raw.

Here’s a general guide on how you might use stunnel to achieve this. Note that using UDP for SSH might not be as common or secure as using TCP.

Install stunnel:
bash
Copy code
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install stunnel
Create a stunnel configuration file:
Create a file, let’s say stunnel.conf, and add the following configuration:

conf
Copy code
client = yes
pid = /tmp/stunnel.pid

[ssh]
accept = 127.0.0.1:2200
connect = your_ssh_server_ip:22
Replace your_ssh_server_ip with the IP address or hostname of your SSH server.

Start stunnel:
bash
Copy code
sudo stunnel stunnel.conf
This configuration tells stunnel to listen on UDP port 2200 on your local machine and forward the traffic to the SSH server on port 22.

Now you can use an SSH client to connect to the local port (e.g., ssh -p 2200 username@127.0.0.1). The stunnel will handle the communication over UDP and forward it to the SSH server.

Remember that using UDP for SSH might have some implications, and it’s generally recommended to use TCP for SSH connections for reliability and stability.
