I was screwing around and did something similar the other day. My open port to the outside was 26, redirected to internal 10.10.10.2 port 26. I set up sshd on the internal to be looking on port 26. I could have probably just left it on 22. Just trying things. Here is my ipf rule - pass in quick on ne3 proto tcp from any to 10.10.10.2/32 port = 26 flags S keep state ipnat - rdr ne3 24.178.140.157/32 port 26 -> 10.10.10.2 port 26 To login I used - $ ssh -p 26 <ip number> It looks to me like your rules are ok. These were two openbsd boxes I was accessing from a remote debian machine. kent -- >From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of "The Panther" - R. M. Rilke
