Thanks in advance
Broadly speaking, if he needs ssh access you will probably need to forward
a port on the router to your computer. By default this is port 22, and
there will probably be a preset for it. However, you might want to consider
additional security by opening a different port, which reduces the
incidence of port scanning. Check with your son first.
This seemed to be quite straightforward but, like so many things I try
to do, I am stuck. Is there some magic involved in making port
forwarding work? I followed the instruction in the router's manual, I
read and tried things I found in Google but, as far as I could tell, the
port did not open. Perhaps some kind person could point me to where I
might find the answer to my dilemma.
