SFTP and century link(win10)
by LT72884 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SAA3)
Ok, so i have not had internet for about 6 months, until two weeks ago, A freind of mine in a dorm room next door ordered century link internet and offered me the ability to use the wifi and have access to the router.
ok, this is awesome, but im having an issue ssh. Here is the thing. i can access my server locally through the lan with strong username along with keys and passphrase.
I open up port 22 in the router, windows defender, avast firewall, router firewall, and i try to connect... nothing EVER hits the server. My server is setup that ANY time someone or something hits the server, i get a message. nothing from the public side at all. So i decide to use an online port tester, like nmap, and it says all the ports timeout. ok, so i try another tester, this time, it successfully says port 22 is open AND my server sends me a message stating that something tried to connect. ok, this is good. BUT i run the scan again, and it times out. i set the scan to do it over and over, been 2 days and not one successful attempt. so i give up.
i know the router lets port 25565 through for a game server of mine and it works just fine, but port 22, will not. i even checked the default configs for the router and it shows it allowing ssh through.
i have checked all firewalls that i have and virus scanners. nothing. its driving me nuts.
any help would be nice. i feel like its a century link issue... maybe
