Setting a random SSH port and limiting it to 3/min saw failed login attempts fall by 99% and jailed IPs fall to 0.

Nice tips! Personally will use SSH aliases and canonicalised hostnames.
Other topics covered in post:
- Forward Yubikey Agent
- Reuse connections
- SSH straight into tmux
- Alias commonly used hosts
- Do not add testing stuff to
~/.ssh/known_hosts
- Make connections last longer
- Canonicalize hostnames
- Yubikey and GitHub, without touching it every time
I'd have to second Feral Hosting, although I haven't used them for years. Starting from £10/month for 1TB and unlimited bandwidth.
