I find it funny that as soon as I disable password authentication on my server and enable key auth then all of the bots spamming my server with incorrect login requests instantly stop when they realise that they aren’t getting through any time soon. Also don’t ask why I don’t have Fail2Ban and a firewall set up.

    Change the default port. Attempts drop to nil

    @steaksauce Come to think of it, I don’t know how that slipped my mind when I first set up my server.

    Just make sure selinux is configured for the new port too if it's enabled, or else you can't get in

    Ok i'll bite. WHY don't you have Fail2ban and Firewall setup? 🤔

    @CatMDV Because I honestly couldn’t be bothered setting them up until this point.
