I think you may want to direct this question to the security team privately ([log in to unmask]). I’m certain it’s not a good practice to outline one’s firewall configurations on a forum.

Does anyone know what this entails?
What is being upgraded, and is this saying that SSH is effected?
Thanks...

MSU IT will be performing upgrades to increase perimeter security for
the MSU network tomorrow, December 20, at 6:00 a.m.
*What does this mean for me?*
Users requiring off-campus access to services affected by the upgrade
will need to connect to the MSU network via our virtual private network
(MSU VPN).
Please note, most web-based services (e.g., websites, email) will not be
impacted by this change.
*What do I need to do?*
Use the MSU VPN to access the MSU network from off campus beginning
December 20 and advise others to do the same.
If these updates cause business disruptions, please submit a firewall
request at http://go.msu.edu/uss-firewall detailing the service, how the
service is used, the IP addresses affected, and the ports required for
access.
In the coming months, MSU VPN will be adding two-factor authentication
to the MSU VPN login process.
*Additional information*

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the MSU IT Service
Desk at (517) 432-6200 or [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
