I opened port 22 at one point (with password-based authentication on),
and it didn't take long before someone in Asia was trying to guess IDs
and passwords.
My current setup uses OpenVPN (available in Fedora Extras) running on a
randomly selected UDP port. UDP port scans are much slower than TCP
port scans, so it's less likely to be noticed.
