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

My impression in general is that the business press is more open, more free, often more critical, less constrained by external power and external influences - Chomsky

I got the same impression when I used to watch televised business news.

A reverse proxy saves you from having to expose your services directly and acts as a go-between.

Internet <--> Reverse Proxy <--> Service

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

Just under two right now but it is throwing out 55-60GB a day at the moment. Gotta keep those Linux ISOs seeded!

This week I finally managed to route torrent traffic through a VPS that was sitting around gathering dust. I am behind CGNAT so was taking me 6 weeks to do the kind of traffic I do in a day now. I couldn't be more chuffed.
