You are not alone in this. This week I actually changed ports for ssh because of the sheer number of brute force attempts. We'll see how long that holds out.

- ru552 7y agoWhy not just restrict access to specific IP blocks? Even if you left it open to Verizon's entire IP space so you can hit it with your cell, you would still dramatically lower your incident rate.
- geocrasher 7y agoYeah I could do that I suppose. I host several people on it however. Right now the unique port is enough.
- tlavoie 7y agoWhy not just use fail2ban or similar, to automatically block the ninnies for a while after a few attempts?
- geocrasher 7y agoYup, using LFD for that purpose. There's still a lot of attempts.
