I know, I know about how internet works :) I’ve just simply noted a large

increase in SSH brute force attempts in the last two weeks. BTW I don’t have root login enabled and I have two factor authentication on my SSH port (not standard),

I also gets a lot of ssh bruce force attempts but then I drink some hot chokolade and all my worries goes away :-) However I am running on ssh on port 22 so I do expect a lot of bruce force attempts.

I do find it a bit strange if you are running ssh on another port and still gets many bruce force attempts.

Just curious: how many bruce force attempts per day approx? a few thousands?
