Please tell me you plan to use ssh keys and preferable fail2ban and a firewall on your machine if you are not using a VPN / Cloudflare tunnel.

https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/use-a-secure-key-for-ssh is one starting point but u/flaming_m0e nailedit - what actually is your problem?

I would also ask - what do you aim to do?

Some clue as to your network kit (esp the router and if you are on CGNAT) would also help.
