Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

But it depends on the size of the network/system and how many devices have an open port and are open to connection.
It may not make a difference on 1 server, but if you have a full network with managed switches, routers, firewalls and access points would its impact become more significant?
Not a network expert, just a technician, and I'm curious so any insight is appreciated!
Only Internet facing devices would see this kind of traffic 10mb/day/per public IP address is still nothing unless you otherwise have essentially zero traffic. Typically only firewalls would have external IPs of the devices you mentioned and they wouldn't have SSH bound to an external port
If you're going to have lots of hosts running SSH you should setup a bastion/jump host for it anyways.
Well nothing compared to rest of the infrastructure, we are talking of 0.05$ per month per machine at standard egress rates of major cloud providers. Still, why having them?
This would be per public address. Generally you'll keep those to a minimum for a properly configured cloud setup, and only have 1-5 of them for a local setup.
