Greetings
I think this is a more port-forwarding issue than a SSH one.
I got a Mac Server that accept SSH connection behind a pfsense firewall: all I need is to port forwarding firewall SSH access from port 6116 (external) to 22 (internal for server).
I created a NAT and firewall rules to forward connection from port 6116 to 22 to my internal IP server, but do not work. Do I have to add some addon or enable SSH access?
I don't need a SSH access to firewall, only a port forwarding for SSH, from port 6116 to 21 to my server.
Eventually, OpenVPN can be a better solution to this issue, to have a secure encrypted connection? (I use this with a ssh tunnel for a VNC connection from my client to sever).
Thx

post the NAT rule and access rule pls.

here's the rules (NAT and port forwarding)

Remove the source port from the firewall rule - that is not needed and is likely the source of your problem, since it will fail to match almost any packet that comes in.
