My cable provider has a "no servers" policy for their standard accounts
(if you want to run servers, you need to pay more). To enforce this,
they seem to scan their new customers. The first few weeks after I
signed up, they scanned me daily. It has stopped now, so I guess I'll be
able to open ssh on time :)
