Yea agreed. Its dangerous. Lot of people have dynamic IPs at their home. Once you have setup ssh keys and disabled root login, you should be good to go.

Agreed. You should assume you have a dynamic IP unless you’ve specifically arranged for a static one. It’s a “business” feature where I live at least, so personal internet connections will be dynamic.

And change the port from 22. I tend to use the 400 range for SSH ports.

You'll be surprised how many bots get thwarted by just changing the port.
