Just MHO but I don't see much less attacks by changing the ssh port. They scan anything that's open and sooner or later they will find it.

If you don't want to dive into pf with both feet, try pfsense. I run all my gateway boxes on it because I have a Windoze admin that needs to change firewall rules every now and then, and it has a web interface that is really nice. If you want to then look at the rules to learn, you can still get a console and take a peek.

I don't run anything other than pf and it has never left me down OR left anyone in without any other tools being loaded.
