How do you deal with malicious requests to your servers?

I put up a vps with nginx and the logs show dodgy requests within minutes, how do you guys deal with these?

Edit: Thanks for the tips everyone!

Fail2ban and Nginx Proxy Manager. Here's a tutorial on getting started with Fail2ban:

I really wanted to use this and set it up a while ago. Works great but in the end I had to deactivate it, because my nextcloud instance would cause too many false positives (404s and such) and I would ban my own up way too often.
