Ok.. First off my ISP does not block ports. I run web server just fine from another machine. I have port forwarded port 22. I can access within network but not out of.. I.E. my android. I get "The Operation Timed Out" on ConnectBot.

Oh and I have allowed 22 on UFW.

To answer what exactly happened was my ISP blocks port 22, even though a while back they told me they do not block any ports.. I changed it to port 27 and it worked without a problem.

so you have your network router configured to forward connections on port 22 to your machine's static IP address.

when trying to connect from your android (cell network); do you use a terminal emulator? is so add additional flags to the connection command : " ssh -vv " should show more verbose information to see at what point it denies you.

If it doesn't reach the service "sshd" I would purge openssh-server and re-install. This will automatically configure correctly UFW if there's any error with your firewall.
