! Scope
* allow ssh
* enable ipv6 access only 
* enable access only from three computers

Steps:
# register your home computer (Windows) at a dyndns service to provide the current ipv6, see [dynv6.com|https://dynv6.com]
# Windows: create windows batch script to update dynv6
# Windows schedule script to run each time the PC is booted, see "Aufgabenplanung" (task scheduler)
# Raspberry: create and set iptables ruleset
# Raspberry: use python script to query the current ipv6 from dynv6 (Windows) and replace in iptables ruleset
# Raspberry: schedule the ipv6 update in firewall (ip6tables)

! SSH
Change SSH Port
{{{
> sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config    # here is the port
    Port xx x                     # set port here
    ListenAddress ::              # enable all ipv6
    ListenAddress 0.0.0.0         # enable all ipv4    
    LogLevel DEBUG                # change log level like INFO, DEBUG3
    AllowUsers <user>             # allow only this user
    PermitRootLogin prohibit-password   # activate to disable root
> sudo vi /etc/ssh/ssh_config     # this is general
> cd /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d	  # check also sub configurations

> sudo systemctl status ssh       # check status
> sudo service ssh restart        # reload / restart
> sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart    # reload / restart alternative
> sudo netstat -pantWul           # check connections

!2. Windows batch script to update dynv6 service
{{{
REM update_dynv6.bat

REM set utf-8

echo off
set domain=<your.domain.here>
set token=<youtTokenHere>

echo ---- check and update local ipv6 address at dynv6.com for %domain% ----

rem ping -n 1 -6 %domain%
for /F "tokens=3" %%i in ('"ping -n 1 -6 %domain% | findstr Antwort"')  do set dynv6_ipv6=%%i
rem cut last colon, example 2a02:5a0:4110:f590:29f6:40ba:51b4:b4da:
set dynv6_ipv6=%dynv6_ipv6:~0,-1%

! iptables

See my general ruleset at [Firewall with iptables] 

!! Python
* package "python3-iptables" manages legacy ones only, [docu1|https://python-iptables.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html], [docu2|https://ldx.github.io/python-iptables/]
* package "python3-nftables" manages nft tables, [docu|https://ral-arturo.org/2020/11/22/python-nftables-tutorial.html]
* alternatively you can use subprocess.run to call the original system commands

! 5. subprocess
{{{
#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket   # determine ipv6
import subprocess

tupel = socket.getaddrinfo('your.pc.com', None, socket.AF_INET6)
# tupel like [(<AddressFamily.AF_INET6: 23>, 0, 0, '', ('2a02:5a0:4110:f590:4670:d3e6:f2bc:ee', 8384, 0, 0))]
print("tupel=", tupel)

ipv6=tupel[0][4][0]
print("ipv6=", ipv6)

subprocess.run(["/usr/sbin/ip6tables", "-R", "INPUT", "1", "-s", ipv6, "-j", "ACCEPT"])
subprocess.run(["/usr/sbin/ip6tables", "-R", "OUTPUT", "1", "-d", ipv6, "-j", "ACCEPT"])

! 6. Schedule script with crontab

Run every 15 minutes
{{{
