connection forwarding

With VPN features built in to most SOHO routers, this is the easiest way to deal with the issue. This is the way I go in order to get to my boxen farm at home. Simplicity is bliss.

Would the port number change only be for additional security; Noone would see the default port open externally so noone would bother brute force? Primary security would just be the username/password ?? <-- Curiousity

I can answer that (maybe)... I've done it in the past because the machine that I was starting the SSH session on was already running RDP, so I had to change the port from 3389 to something else.

Ah, yea i can see the logic there. My first line of thought was simply getting through the firewall and 'security through obscurity' method.
