I am trying to create an SSH fileserver at home which I can access elsewhere. It is currently running Arch linux kernel 4.16.3-1-ARCH.
I can gain access through my other computer via LAN easily:



bred@loaf:~$ ssh landau@192.168.0.177 -p 80
landau@192.168.0.177's password:


But trying to access via WAN has proven more difficult. I've been trying to use port 80 since port 22 seems to be blocked. And I know 80 is open according to ismyportopen.com. I guess I don't really know what I'm doing and the arch wiki seems to be failing me.



I notice I've gotten this error when trying to connect via WAN while on the same LAN.



bred@loaf:~$ ssh landau@65.157.96.234 -vv -p 80

Here is a copy of my /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the host, excluding commented lines:

My host's /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny didn't exist by default. I added sshd:ALL to the allow file and that didn't seem to help.
