Hi,
Thanks for getting back to us.
In-order to enable the jail-shell access we need your static ip. If you don't have a static IP, there is no point in continually white listing IPs that will be irrelevant within 24 hours. It makes things a nightmare to track.
Please let us know your ip so that we can white-list the same in the server and enable shell access.
Please let us know your thoughts on this.

Firewalls can process static ip addresses much faster than DNS domain names. I would get VPS like digital ocean. You can get a cheap server for $5/mo and set up OpenVPN or an SSH proxy.---------------------------------------------------On Sun, Nov 26, 2017 at 5:18 PM, David Schwartz <newsletters@thetoolwiz.com> wrote:I’ve got a shared hosting account and asked if I’m able to install a git repo host (eg., from gitlab) so I can use it to host my own private git repos.
I’m not very famliar with git or hosting it, but I understand that It requires an SSH connection for the transfers.
I asked the support folks, and they replied that they can do that, but they need to configure it so the SSH uses a static IP so they can white-list it in their firewall.
That requires me to always access it from the same place, which seems a bit over-restrictive for my needs.
(I have Cox internet at home, so I probably have a static IP most of the time, at least until I reboot my modem and it allocates a different IP.)
I’m wondering if there are any options where I could use, say, a VPN, to set up a redirect such that the outgoing IP for the SSH is always static?
Anybody familiar with git is free to offer alternatives. Frankly, I’m not sure why it would be built exculsively on using SSH as the data channel. Doesn’t it have any other means of connecting to it?
Alternatively, this hosting account is a reseller account, and while I’m not exactly sure how many IPs they give me, I know they’re all static.
So I could set up another domain on the same host with something that lets me do a redirect to the SSH on the other domain where git is hosted?
Alternatively, what’s wrong with just using a port for the SSH channel way up in the 20,000 range?
I get their concern with security, but … solving the problem with a static IP seems so 1990ish.
Suggestions are welcome.
