If you configured the firewall it probably is not configured to allow access
from an external IP. If someone is at your house you can have them attempt to
reach your bsd box, and if you have executed
tcpdump -nei pflog0
then it will show your home IP as a deny (provided the blocks have the log
parameter.)
Provided pf is running, there needs to be a PASS rule. Something like:
WAN=xl0
Home=nn.nnn.nn.nnn
pass in log on $WAN proto tcp from $Home to $WAN port 22
That would allow you and only you in. Of course if you have a dynamic IP then
it will change. If that's the case you can use dyndns.net or .com(?) to
always track which IP you have at home.
