Changing the port doesn’t actually accomplish much
Best practice is to just harden SSH so that not traffic gets nowhere
Comment on Means to privately connect to my home server other than Tailscale?

Port forward your SSH-server. You can forward ports through SSH to access web services or others running on the server or anything else in the network.
But only allow access through keys. And maybe try to use a different port than 22. That usually gets hammered a lot, trying to find accounts with weak passwords.

Yep, that a good option. But only with a key ! Not with a password.
Bot from everywhere will try to forcebrut attack with many password attempt.
I got in this situation in the past. Nothing wrong happened, but it was stressfull.
