      For those of you not already doing so:

      1. Limit the Source IPs in your external SSH rules
      2. Install SSH keys and do not allow logins without keys
      3. Rate limit connections as indicated in the forum.

      All the tools to limit your exposure to SSH bruteforcing are in place, its up to you to use them.
