The number of unauthorized SSH attempts will also very much depend on your IP address.
I've hosted my own SSH server at home and from a university dorm room. At university, I'd get way more attacks (usually from foreign IPs) than at home. Also, on IPv6-only, I got zero attacks. I run everything behind a Wireguard VPN now, so I don't know how things have changed in the past few years.
It would be interesting to see an analysis of attempts based on IP address type (residential, business, various universities, various clouds). How does the number of attacks compare within and between these categories? Perhaps there could be a cool graphic with arrows (or some other indicator) showing where attacks are coming from and targeting.
