yeah, while reading this i was going “What maniac exposes SSH to WAN anyway…?” the whole time. I fail to see any reason or point that can be justified exposing SSH to WAN.
I used to have a synology NAS that would sleep of death itself. Synology support asked me to port forward SSH to the open internet and set no password so they could pull logs over the next few weeks.
How do you know this? What tool or utility tells you this fact? I have a port exposed for a game server but realising I don’t know how many attempts are being made.
I was kinda new to linux so I used https://www.papertrail.com/ and hooked it up to my syslogs, and then went “oh… oh no… oh god no…” and immediately turned off SSH.
The only time I ever exposed my SSH port to the WAN, I got about 750 connection attempts from China and 250 attemps from Russia per hour.
Fail2ban with increasing jail time for repeat offenders usually takes care of the worst of it after a day or two

Yes, it was legit synology support not a scammer.
No, I haven’t bought synology ever again.
What do you use now? Qnap?
I build my own stuff now. I tried qnap after synology but it just sucked in different ways.
99.999% of that is over IPv4. I leave IPv6 open to WAN for my own use and it’s not a problem.
Thanks for the intel
New friends from all over the world!
Did it help you find hot milfs within a mile of your location?

Thank you kindly, I am reasonably new to Linux myself. Ibuse it but don’t have a great understanding
Ibusing it is how you learn it.
One reason that I have my router ignore all connection attempts from Russia and China
Russia, China, India, NK should be on all block lists
What if they use VPNs? THEN WHAT?!
