  • Move the port to a high port. Install fail2ban and set it to ban quickly. The downside of that is if you fat finger your login more than a couple of times it might ban you. I have whitelist on mine of the IP addresses I know I will be logging in from. I also run TCP wrappers which far too many people screech about it being depreciated. it works and also if set up properly logs all login attempts. I get about three or four a month on my random high port. Of course most of this depends on you trying to gain access from known addresses or subnet.

    I only have the ssh login as a backup. I run wireguard with the ports set to something other than the default port. It allows me to gain access to my home network quickly. While its always possible there might be some bug that would allow someone to access it in the future it works as well as any other solution.



  • Why would you say that? I drive forty five minutes to work and back every day. The majority of my route is two lane highway. I’m usually plus or minus five around the speed limit the whole way. I see the same thing everyday. I see regulators who like slowing down when oncoming traffic prevents passing and speeding up to ten over when you can. I also see the mad dashers who wont leave on time passing dangerously in packs as they race to work. For the past year I try to leave fifteen minutes earlier than I used to. This time difference allows me to skip most of the dashers. If I leave any earlier I just get another shifts dashers. Nothing can be done about the regulators. They do it for some pathetic power trip. They are going to do it no matter where and no matter when they leave for work.

    There is nothing surprising to me about your statement.
