  • Changing SSH port causes "connection refused"

    Posted on

    This is a freshly installed RHEL 6.8. I changed the SSH port to 443 and tried with 440, 23, and 22 as well. In all cases I get "Connection refused" with no password prompt when I try to connect.

    Without the port change, everything works normally in SSH.

    Appreciate any help, thank you.
