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?
Disable root login covers 99.9999 percent of it, as long as your box has only one or two obscure login accounts.
