SSH access (non-standard port) on WAN Port [SOLVED]

[dpsguard]

Thank you so much Patrick for excellent explanation. I will try this sometime later today and confirm. Though I only wished to access SSH on a non-standard port, but this is interesting at least for me to try and keep in back pocket just in case.

I assume this still uses port 22 for the establishment of SSH tunnel that carries within it the forwarded ports between http/https server and local machine. so OPNSense firewall needs to expose port 22 for SSH on WAN interface.

Can I have underlying SSH tunnel to use something like port 54321? 

Appreciate all your help.

Of course, add option "-p <port>" to the ssh command.

Excellent. I will try this and report back.

God bless you and all the developers and authors of Opensource software and systems. Keep doing good work.
