This might be a dumb question, but can I assume the keys are safe in the standard .ssh directory on Linux? Is there anything I should explicitly do to secure the private key?
Thank you. For now, I won't try to connect to the server from the internet. I want to learn more about VPNs before I try anything like this. I am very paranoid when it comes to security, so I don't want to risk anything... 😄
Wow, I just used this tutorial. rsync is amazing, and this actually makes everything so much easier. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
