External ssh login to LAN computer

@silence OK ... I will test it tomorrow when I have access to the computer ... Thanks for you support

@zkab I would suggest you test before then, say open it back up to any IP. Then go to can you see me . org and test to that port.. Do you get green, that is open?
If so then lock it back down to your source IP.
Users quite often forget about host firewalls, so I would test that your seeing open from the public internet before locking it down, etc.

good idea.

@silence What do you think of this ... will it work? Should I disable OpenVPN rule or will port forwarding still work?

Do you still want to use openvpn connection for other stuff? If your not using openvpn, then I wouldn't run openvpn. If your not running openvpn then there is little need for the rule.

@johnpoz This action is temorary so the support guy can 'ssh login' to my 192.168.1.13.
After the problem is solved I will disable port forward for this incoming IP.
I still need OpenVPN now and in the future ... question is will OpenVPN rule interfear & disturb to 'ssh login'?
Should I disable it until the support problem is solved? -
@zkab no it wont interfere
And yeah your ssh access for some tech support guy is prob much better then giving them vpn access that is for sure. And much easier to setup.

@zkab no reason to.. If he doesn't have creds and certs to login to the vpn, he can't connect to your vpn. And again that rule has zero to do with your ssh port forward.
