Multiple Ssh Connections to the Same System - Is It Possible?

I have a linux computer acting as a server which can accept incoming SSH connections.

Is it possible to reliably connect multiple devices at the same time, such as my phone and laptop, as well as other desktops, to the same server using SSH?

Thanks for the help.

The short answer - Yes. It usually works by default.

The long answer - Depending on what you are using it for, it may slow down with multiple connections, but that is a bandwidth issue, not an ssh issue.

Yes it is possible, it is the default behaviour.

You can rely if you are using an updated version of ssh and the protocol is not any more 1.

grep "Protocol"  /etc/ssh/sshd_config

The command above should give you Protocol 2.
