We all migrate to smaller websites try not to post outside drawing attention just to hide from the "Ai" crawlers. The internet seems dead except for the few pockets we each know existed away from the clankers

I have a DDNS setup. Pretty random site name. Nonetheless, it’s been found and constantly probed. Lots of stuff from Russia, China, a few countries in Africa, and India. A smattering of others, but those are the constant IPs that are probing or attempting logins.

    DNS only translate a string address (www.mywebsite.com) to its IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) so that it is easier to remember.

    Bots just try a range of address and they don't need to know your domain name. You could have the most unintelligible domain name in the world, bots would still ping your website because they use direct IP addresses.
