I wanted to ssh hello-hacker-news@knock-knock.net, but sadly it doesn't work because the site is hosted behind Cloudflare. You'd have to work out the true server IP address which is not easy to do.

Sadly? Intentionally! The IP is hiding behind Cloudflare mainly to make it much harder for the bots to figure it out. Blocking you from messing with the stats is just icing on the cake. :-)

I don't think hosting the site behind Cloudflare will affect the number of SSH brute-force attempts, these bots are just brute-forcing the entire IPv4 space aren't they?
