I'm confused, what's the actual problem you're having?

Is the problem the log messages from sshd?  I just ignore them.  Problem
solved.

It's fairly odd, on the modern internet, to pretend that an attempt to
guess your password is anything to worry about.  Think of these
attackers as soil bacteria -- if your immune system is so broken that
you're vulnerable to such a trivial threat, you have no chance of
surviving when a serious threat shows up, and your immediate demise is
better for the species as a whole.
