You are spot on with the **inetd** comparison. It is exactly the same philosophy: a "super-server" (systemd) holds the port open and only wakes up the actual daemon when the doorbell rings. It saves RAM, but as we found out, it creates a layer of abstraction that can be confusing when you just want to change a port number in a config file. Here is the clarification on the other points: ### 1. The `!` Syntax Yes, the `!` is a logical **NOT**. `ConditionPathExists=!/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run` translates to: *"Only start this unit if `/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run` does **NOT** exist."* ### 2. `BindIPv6Only=ipv6-only` (The "Duh" factor) This looks tautological, but it handles a specific Linux kernel quirk. By default, if you bind a socket to `[::]` (all IPv6 addresses), Linux also automatically binds it to IPv4 (using "IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses"). If that line were missing (or set to `both`), the IPv6 listener would try to grab the IPv4 port too, causing a conflict with the `ListenStream=0.0.0.0:22` line above it. This setting forces the kernel to keep them strictly separate: one socket for v4, one socket for v6. ### 3. Session Anxiety Your realization is 100% correct. When you connect via SSH: 1. The listener (Port 22) accepts the handshake. 2. The OS spawns a specific process for *your* session. 3. That session moves to an established state on a random high ephemeral port. The "Listening Port" is just the front door. Once you are inside (authenticated), you are in a private room. We can repaint the front door (change the port), lock it (firewall), or move it entirely, and it won't affect the people already inside the party. **Next Step:** Now that you have a cert, a firewall, and a clear understanding of the systemd plumbing, is there anything else you need to configure on this VPS, or shall we call this ticket closed?

Voltairine de Cleyre (1866–1912) was an American anarchist writer, lecturer, and organiser. She is best known for her essays on individual liberty, anti-authoritarianism, feminism, free thought, and labour autonomy. Initially influenced by individualist anarchism (Tucker, Spooner), she later adopted a “no-label” or “anarchism without adjectives” position, arguing that economic schools should not divide the movement. Her most noted works include *The Dominant Idea*, *Sex Slavery*, and *Direct Action*. She was a compelling public speaker, fluent in several languages, and corresponded widely across the international anarchist movement. Her life was marked by poverty, chronic illness, and a deep commitment to education and mutual aid; she taught immigrant workers English for free for years. Emma Goldman called her “the most gifted and brilliant anarchist woman America ever produced.” View quoted note →
