# Configuring OpenSSH in Windows 11
Windows 11 uses its own OpenSSH implementation based on OpenSSH v8 by default. To ensure optimal security and compatibility, it is recommended to update to the beta implementation of OpenSSH for Windows.
## Updating OpenSSH
1. Open a command prompt or PowerShell window.
2. Run the following command to install the beta version of OpenSSH:
```
winget install -e --id Microsoft.OpenSSH.Beta
```
3. Verify that your SSH version is greater than 8.X.X by running:
```
ssh -V
```
## Configuring OpenSSH Client
In Windows, the OpenSSH Client (`ssh`) reads configuration data from a configuration file in the following order:
1. By launching `ssh.exe` with the `-F` parameter, specifying a path to a configuration file and an entry name from that file.
2. A user's configuration file at `%userprofile%\.ssh\config`.
3. The system-wide configuration file at `%programdata%\ssh\ssh_config`.
Apply the following configuration either system-wide or user-wide by placing it in the respective file path:
```

```
## Hardening the Windows OpenSSH Server
To harden the Windows OpenSSH Server implementation:
1. Open `%programdata%\ssh\sshd_config`.
2. Uncomment the following lines:
```
HostKey __PROGRAMDATA__/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey __PROGRAMDATA__/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
```
3. Add the following configuration to the same file:
```

```
### Optional
Add `hmac-sha2-256` to the `MACs` configuration. This MAC is necessary to connect to the default SSH configuration of OpenWRT, Debian, DietPi, and other similar systems.
