One can never guarantee that they will be a at the approved IP/MAC Address when issues arise. For this reason I would use SSH-Keys for access to the machine. I would also move the port to something other then the default port and block 22 at the firewall. After that I would run something like fail2ban and drop any IP Address that fails to log in on the new port should that port be discovered by unauthorized persons. -- Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a life time.
