I changed from port 22 to port 443 for SSH on my home machine and haven't seen any brute force attacks on it since. (It's been a couple of years now).

Oddly enough, I had to change it because my employer started blocking outgoing connects to port 22. I think they only allow 80 and 443 now.

That's just sad. I hope you work somewhere sane now.
