So I setup ssh on a server so I could do some work from home and I think the second I opened it every sorry monkey from around the world has been trying every account name imaginable to get into the system.

This is what I do.

That sounds great for getting around a remote dynamic IP address, but some more authentication/security on that web page is necessary, otherwise, anyone who finds that web page is given access?
Not really. Anyone who finds that page is only allowed to try and "access" ssh port. You still need valid key/password and proper knowledge of the port.
