Nope, this sits on the machine with sshd installed itself, and activates
a pf block on that machine.  M0n0wall doesn't have an sshd (see the FAQ)
so doesn't need the protection.  Plus, for through-bound ssh traffic, it
has no way of knowing which ssh connections going through it are brute
force attempts, since they are encrypted.
