Actually, connecting to port 22 works fine, or did until my last hacking
session on the router. Which is why I wanted to make it inaccessible.
My current "solution" is to forward 22 on the WAN side of the router to
9 on the LAN side of the router. since 9 on the LAN side has no services
attached, the incoming connection fails. which is what I wanted.
