ufw disallow ssh, try it
I have been the victim of 2 hack attempts in the last 10 years. One was my mistake bcoz I didn't update Magento in time. The other was something out of my control. No matter wtever u do sometimes just bad luck can chase u down. Sometimes e.g. I see notifications about vulnerabilities in code that was written maybe 10,15 years ago and is no longer maintained, ppl r using those just fine based on luck.
does it just block default ssh port or does it check my actual ssh port?
yes
all my high uptime idlers stay winning
