Yeah I have both port 22 and 23 for mystic. Im getting rammed with logins.
But what I did is:

- Auto whitelist logged in users
- Ban on 4 failed attemps in 2 minutes

That seems to keep the bruteforces at a minimum. I do not like to change the
port as I do not believe in security by obscurity.

oP!
