Do you ever examine logs? Fail2ban (or even better, using a nonstandard port or both) keep the noise out of lots to the point that you can still examine them manually.
Without it, 99.99% of the average ssh log is failed back attempts.
- nerdponx 9y agoChanging the port away from 22 also had that effect in my experience.
- purple-again 9y agoThis was like night and day. Non stop constant barrages on the default port, all quiet on the ssh k@ip -p XXX.
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoI found that setting the port and user in ~/.ssh/config made everything way easier. Also fill in the IP as HostName if you're not using DNS names.
