Hello folks, I fried of mine offered us a few metric tons of server hardware that we can use for our CI and testing. He also offered to host and operate it. The only problem is power costs.

So the vital question now is: can we find any

One feature that I haven't seen in OpenSSH (It may be there) is an automatic blacklisting of IP addresses when a certain number of login attempts are reached from that IP address. It seems like it is popular these days to try brute force access on password cracking and automatic blacklisting may limit these attempts. Best regards/Nils Hammar
