Enabling SSH from the WAN port?

[paulehoffman]

Greetings. I'm a pfSense newbie. I have turned on SSH, and it works fine from the LAN side. Is there a way to turn on SSH from the WAN side that I'm missing?

Thanks! It was the latter. (To those who find this but don't read the pages: you need to add a firewall rule for the WAN for SSH.)
