VPS Hardening

Securing your own server step by step — from open root to a fortress.

Claude Code Codex Copilot Cursor Gemini CLI Windsurf

Overview

A fresh VPS gets attacked within minutes of boot — and basic hardening blocks 99% of attempts: a new user with SSH keys instead of passwords, root login disabled, a changed SSH port, the ufw firewall, fail2ban auto-banning, and unattended security updates.

The agent runs this checklist over SSH in the right order (without locking itself out) and verifies each step — one hour turns an exposed box into a respectable production host.

Who Is This For?

  • Hardening a new VPS before any deployment
  • SSH keys and disabled password login
  • ufw and fail2ban against brute force
  • Automatic security updates
