Having said all that, most people don't serve websites from their own PC any more, few ISPs allow it.
I do run a small family webserver on my desktop, but I also have Fail2Ban installed. It registers multiple failed connection attempts every day, mainly from China. My policy is to automatically ban these forever as soon as they occur.

Thank-you, Patrick. I thought I had fail2ban on this workstation. I just checked. It's one of many things that got wiped out in this workstation's October disaster. I'll have to take another look at the tool and, more likely than not, re-install it.
