   Understood, and Mystic already has a solution built-in.   Just be sure to add   
   the addresses you commonly connect from to the mystic/data/allowlist.txt; that   
   way the system will never lock you out.  And, if you are using the 4   
   connections in 120 secs suggested setting, the likelihood of locking yourself   
   out is pretty small. (unless of course your are testing ssh settings and you   
   keep trying options that fail..., ask me how I know?!? :) )
