I have a computer at home that I'm doing some research on and I set up

confident enough that it is safe.
What are the configuration steps that I will need to do on the server
and the client to be able to work access the computer from my
workplace?
Very briefly, on your home box:
0] install appropriate harden Debian packages;
1] set up a firewall (e.g, firehol Debian package);
2] in /etc/hosts.allow limit access to sshd accordingly (sshd: <WORKPLACE IP>);
3] configure the /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow only a small set of users
(sshd_config AllowUsers),
basically only you;
4] use public keys rather than passwords.
I guess that the list is incomplete, but it is certainly a good start.
hth,
Jerome
