    This or similar software is basically required is you have an SSH server accessible over the internet

    Don’t make the mistake I did and assume that your server is too small or inconsequential to get hacked - a hacking attempt is a matter of “if” not when, but turning off password Auth and adding fail2ban will get you locked up tight

      In the early days of my home server I remember looking at the logs and just watching them scroll with failed attempts. It was just a small box for messing about on with a dynamic IP. Older and wiser now.

    Old software that can actually be superceded by some newer tech if someone feels like doing so.

    Easy to use, lots of documentation. 10/10
