    Nice, but the bots may not understand the joke.

    And not only that but they will tag the domain with ”there is something here”, and maybe some day someone will take a closer look and see if you are all up-to-date or would there maybe be a way in. So better to just drop everything and maybe also ban the IP if they happen to try poke some commonly scanned things (like /wp-admin, /git, port 22 etc.) GoAccess is a pretty nice tool to show you what they are after.

    Use a reverse proxy (caddy or nginx proxy manager) with a subdomain, like myservice.mydomain.com (maybe even configure a subdir too, so …domain.com/guessthis/). Don’t put anything on the main domain / root dir / the IP address.

    If you’re still unsure setup Knockd to whitelist only IP addresses that touch certain one or two random ports first.

    So security through obscurity :) But good luck for the bots to figure all that out.

    VPN is of course the actually secure option, I’d vote for Tailscale.
