How to change the port from 22 to something other and in what range should
I choose a number?

Can you suggest such port which I should install to block these attempts?

Use key based authentication and stop using passwords altogether.


What do you mean here?

Remember to keep ssh1 disabled as well as direct root access into ssh

How to disable SSH1 and How to stop direct root access into ssh, where to
change?
