I've set up my server to only accept logins with SSH-keys, and permanently banning all IP:s that attempt login with passwords.

Now I can't stop watching the banned IP:s stacking up, it's like drugs to me.

*Accidentally supplies wrong argument to ssh*
*Cries*

@PrivateGER rip

@Python seriously though, you should not perma-ban everything automatically, unless you wanna risk banning yourself at the first mistake

@endor Yeah I know, it's currently set to ban after 3 failed attempts. It's a VM on digital ocean so there are some measures to reset the login through the control panel :-)

Use a custom ssh port to stop 99% of automated crawling scripts. If you are feeling adventurous, set up port knocking.

@Npstr Thanks, will check it out! :)

i disabled the option to log in with a password but i like seeing all the fail attempts
