Yeah I have a Linux server that is constantly being hit by SSH requests and bad password requests... So if I could redirect them to this black hole thing I'd love that. But I really Don't understand how I could do that without destroying being able to connect to the website? Honestly I should make it so I can only SSH in via my local network since I never do it from the outside network anyway... I maybe just make a SSH key pair...
Promise I don't really know much about security and the real problem is securities only ever something that people care about when it's too late. Ugh
Well you must have either set up a port redirect (ipv4) or opened the port for external traffic (ipv6) yourself. It is not reachable by default as home routers put a NAT between the internet and your devices, or in the case of ipv6 they block any requests. So (unless you have a very exotic and unsafe router) just uhhh don't 😅 To serve websites it is enough to open 443 for https, and possibly 80 for http if you want to serve an automatic redirect to https.
