Do:

    sudo ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 22
    sudo ufw enable

Then you can just edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config the same as you would on OpenBSD.

Or:

  sudo ufw limit ssh
  sudo ufw enable

This is why I love having a static IP.

    sudo ufw allow from your.ip.addr to tcp port 22

Rest of the world doesnt know I have ssh up and if I'm ever in a hotel or something I can tunnel through my home or login to DO's panel and allow another ip

Don't do that. I did that once and our static ip changed suddenly despite lots of money being spent on it. That was a painful day driving from London to Manchester for me to get to the console.

There is a web console, you never have to drive... or worry :)

I could imagine this being quite dangerous, like being on holiday, there's a power outage, fire, ISP error, etc at home and no way to control your server.

I have essentially a static IP (A 'dynamic' IP with a 6month lease that stays the same on renewal and follows my account regardless of where I live), but you're super fucked if for some reason your IP changes. I usually set it to the /24 I'm assigned from.

How are you screwed? You can always login to the console in the web admin and change it
