this seems like something I would do too, which is why I haven’t installed fail2ban

You should really install fail2ban, juat for peace of mind. If you dont, at the very least setup SSH keys.

The nice thing about SSH key-based access is, I either have the key and login succeeds, or I have no business trying to log in. That’s why my remote root server bans via fail2ban after a single failed login. Yes I’ve had to write support to get a KMS. Yes it’s still configured like this.

I set up, and prefer, iptables rules to rate limit logins. I have mine set so you can connect up to 5 times per 15 minutes. Blocks bots well enough, and if I really mess up, I just wait 15 mins
