So for the past few days i’v been keeping track of my fail2ban logs and noticed that a ton of Chinese ip addresses are being banned. It seems from my auth.log they are trying to brute force there way into my root account. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and if its something I should report directly to DigitalOcean?

Thanks for the tips. I will for sure be switching to cloudflare I didn’t realize they had a free plan and I will also switch the default port of my ssh. Is it good practice to also switch the default port of my web server?
