Yeah, I see your point. No use to repeat the same you can read in other comments or in those 274772 guides online. I was trying to imply to just generally harden ssh because then brute-force attempts should be no issue, unless you log everything and the disk space gets maxed out :D

Fml… yes, I meant CrowdSec. Thanks for the hint

• harden sshd
• use fail2ban or even better CrowdStrike CrowdSec
• use a tool like the following to have a next-gen security solution: https://github.com/mrash/fwknop

“None of this is in any way normal,” Matthew Green.

Exactly, Matthew. But they are normal in a fascist country. Remember, if you do not fight actively against it, you are part of it. Too many former Nazis came up with the excuse “But I was forced to” or “I didn’t know any of this”. Non of those arguments are valid. Fight against it. Leave the country. But giving interviews will not change it.
