Let's do a little diagram:
[ laptop 10.0.0.2 ] ------- [ 10.0.0.1 ]
[ House Router ]
[ firewall ]
[ 192.168.0.20 ] => VPN
[ 235.12.17.22 ] => general Internet
and at the office:
[ desktop 192.168.1.7 ] --- [ 192.168.1.1 ]
[ Office Router ]
[ firewall ]
[ 192.168.0.1 ] => VPN
[ 172.12.23.4 ] => general Internet
I made up the IP addresses, but other than that, does this look
about right?
If so, you're trying to ssh from 192.168.1.7 to 10.0.0.2. Here's
what needs to happen:
- from your desktop, you need to ssh to 192.168.0.20, the
address that your house router has on the VPN. Ping it.
- what could get in the way? the firewall at the office needs to
allow access to the VPN IP, and specifically for the port that
you are using (default 22)
- the house router needs to accept the SSH connection on the VPN
IP and NAT it over to 10.0.0.2, the laptop.
- the laptop needs to be running sshd, of course.
