@vkc Huh... sure would be interested in how to configure UFW / Fail2Ban (or whatever else) for when you need to SSH into servers from places that don't have static IPs etc
Thanks for the heads up tho... many updates and reboots happening... "yay" for my day off.
@mattwilcox I mean, nothing's foolproof, don't get me wrong. But one quick-and-dirty thing you could do is a jump server behind a VPS firewall. Linode* for instance has a cloud-level firewall and web-based terminal access, which you can lock behind your account (and thus your MFA). That kind of thing could give you access to a terminal with a static IP. I think a few VPS providers have similar features.
*not sponsored but I've done appearance work for them in the past.
