@Juha why not feel comfortable sharing the location of the server? On Tue, Feb 26, 2019 at 9:44 AM Juha Kankare via arch-general < arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:

Hi Juha,
It's why I keep my SSH servers on a non-standard port. I know it doesn't prevent someone from discovering it, but it cuts out 99.99% of all those attacks, being able to filter out connection attempts to port 22 Same. For easy ports to remember, I like to combine powers of two (e.g. 25664 (256-64) or 25632). Easy to remember and non-standard. I go for $RANDOM that's five digits and a valid port number. To avoid remembering it, I add it to ~/.ssh/config, e.g. `ssh foo' with
Host foo Hostname foo.bar.xyzzy.com Port 16747
Well, I have to access my server from multiple computers, including some where I can't use personal accounts and/or don't feel safe saving the location and port of my server to. I do have ~/.ssh/config set up on all my personal devices.
