    One option that I haven't seen mentioned is to run ssh on top of a VPN.
    I use OpenVPN for access to my home system. I run it over a randomly
    selected UDP port, which should make it extremely unlikely to be
    detected by a casual scan. (UDP port scans take a lot more time than
    TCP port scans.)
