[Tfug] ip question

[jacob borer]

You are going through a NAT somewhere. Do you have a router at home?

Most likely you will have to set up some sort of port forwarding. To
verify your network's external ip you will want to look on your router
and confirm it. This is where you will also most likely set up a
static port forward for ssh.

Google it.
