Not a link but open port 22 and look at your logs.
At the risk of sounding clueless, how does one do that? And I'm guessing it shows a bunch of random pings, not necessarily (or even likely) attempted intrusions.
By "open port 22" I mean exposing your SSH server, and yes, I'm talking about intrusion attempts. There are bots that do this all the time looking for weak user/password pairs like john/john, john/1234, root/admin, admin/admin, etc. Thousands of lines in the logs.
If your router is using NAT (it most likely is) and there are no ports forwarded to your machine (unlikely unless you set this up on your router) I think you can relax a little bit.
My ISP didn't warn when it enabled IPv6 though.
