SSH - Works locally but not remotely
So I'm trying to be able to SSH to my desktop again after moving to a new house. I had this working before. The problem is, it works perfectly just using the local IP, but then when I use the WAN IP I get password denied:
***.org's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
***.org's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
***.org's password:
Permission denied (publickey,password).
'* **' being my domain. But I know my password is right, and it only started not working once moved to my new house, and again it works locally. If I turn off port forwarding then of course it doesn't even connect to the host. So I know its at least connecting to my desktop, or at least something changes.
So my question is, since it works locally, and stops working altogether when I turn off port forwarding, what can I do to fix this?

Can you add the output ofssh -v user@hostwhen connecting to your question? It helps finding the issue.
