Well, I was just having a look in my home server's event logs, and unsurprisingly... people have been trying to bruteforce it. So I'm just collecting their IPs and blocking them now... not the most efficient method :o

So, how often do people try and bruteforce you? And what countermeasures do you have in place in order to prevent it (I'd be interested to know).

EDIT:
Just in case you're wondering how I'm blocking their IP addresses, I'm doing it by creating an endpoint connection security rule in Windows Firewall. Hopefully I'll be able to knock something up in VB.NET to do this automatically at some point.
