Hi,
I'm currently using SFTP to do offsite backups from a server running Duplicati to my Freenas. I'm getting daily logs of failed login attempts, probably from bots. The backups are being done via a low level user account which doesn't have any root access but it still makes me nervous. All the backups are being done from a computer with a (mostly) constant IP address.
I'm wondering if there is a better way to backup from an offsite server rather than SFTP to try to mitigate these login attempts. I'm not using the standard SSH or FTP ports but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
I know exposing the Freenas to the internet in-itself causes potential for hack attempts but I'm hoping for perhaps a more secure solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert
