    [SOLVED] How to drop SSH port 22 traffic from external networks

    Using Proxmox 6.2.4 For added security, I'm trying to add a firewall rule to DROP all connections to port 22 from external networks. I already have SSH working on an alternative port. Under "Datacenter" -> my_node1 -> Firewall, adding a rule IN DROP SSH (macro name) or IN DROP tcp 22 has no...
