I got tired of repeated SSH attempts and honest for my home network, there's few countries that need to be logging into my system, so I'm using a combination of fail2ban and blocking by country.
I live in Taiwan. While I get the most ssh attempts from China, no surprise there, the second most offending country is the USA.
Rather than doing something which needs updating, I decided to only allow public-key authentication on ssh connections.
Fun Fact: For the period Jan 31 to Apr 7 there were IPs from 116 unique countries attempting logins via ssh to my system. I run IPv6 as well and no attempts were made via those addresses.
