Change Port

The default port of 22 can be changed by editing /lib/systemd/system/dropbear.socket.

E.g. Set port to 1234:

[Unit]
Conflicts=dropbear.service

[Socket]
ListenStream=1234
Accept=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
Also=dropbearkey.service

After editing /lib/systemd/system/dropbear.socket, run: systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl restart dropbear*
