I'm using an anonymizing VPN, but want SSH access to internal computer.

How do I access my internal computer through SSH? When I do ssh 98.123.45.6, the connection times out.

  • IP address from cable provider: 98.123.45.6
  • Anonymous IP through VPN: 50.1.2.3
  • Internal computer: 192.168.1.123

When searching around, I found recommendations to either set up iptables rules, routing rules, or to add ListenAddress to sshd_config. Which of these applies to my case?

Here is my route:
