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!

Yeah the internet services here are really stuck in the past. Hard to tell if theyre taking advantage of the scarcity of ipv4 addresses to make more money somehow, or of theyre just too fuckn lazy

I’m guessing they’re on CG-NAT and someone upstairs thinks staying ipv4 reduces customer support costs.
