Comment on Another good reason not to open port 22

Yeah but the majority of bots out there are going after easy prey. Honestly, if you use public key authentication with ssh you should be fine, even if it is on port 22. But it does of course clog up access logs.

The majority of bots out there are stopped by just using a hard to guess password. It’s not them that you should be worried about.

  The majority of bots doesn’t even show up in the logs if you disable password auth in the server config, as you typically should.
