SSH to Gateway

bytemon · 2017-02-25T00:42:42.000Z

So I have the GL-MT300N running OpenVPN working on my local network. I left the gateway ip of the mini as 192.168.8.1. On my local network (192.168.1.*) it shows up as 192.168.1.165.

If I connect a machine wirelessly to the mini, I can ssh to 192.168.8.1 as I would expect.

But how do I ssh to 192.168.8.1 (or 192.168.1.165) from my local network?

You need to open port 22 in WAN in luci->firewall

That worked. For some reason I couldn’t forward port 22 - had to forward a 4 digit port, then redirect to 22.

But it worked - thanks much!
