How do you secure your home lab? (alien.top)

Started off by

Enabling unattended updates
Enable only ssh login with key
Create user with sudo privileges
Disable root login
Enable ufw with necessary ports
Disable ping
Change ssh default port 21 to something else.

Got the ideas from networkchuck

Did this on the proxmox host as well as all VMs.

Any suggestions?

ssh default port is 22.

Really, unless I'm trying to learn security (valid), or have something to protect. I do the basic best practices.

Real security is an offline backup.

SSH port really doesnt matter. If it is an exposed SSH port, it will probably get picked up if its 69 or 22.
