edge routers

About this tag
Edge routers are a critical component of network infrastructure, but they are increasingly targeted by advanced persistent threats. Discussions on WindowsForum highlight how China-linked state actors exploit vulnerabilities in provider-edge routers to intercept traffic and maintain persistence. Additionally, users report that ISPs block SSH at the protocol level on their edge routers, forcing workarounds like reverse SSH through a VPS. These threads underscore the importance of securing edge routers against both external attacks and ISP-level restrictions, with topics covering CVEs, mitigation strategies, and alternative connectivity methods.

After trying protocol obfuscation, all sorts of port forwardings, and disabling all my firewalls, i found out from my ISP, that they do indeed block SSH at the service/protocol lvl on their edge routers. so this leads me to the following. I...
