Cant ssh into my server from the outside when using a ddns

us flag

So I create a vpn server at home and pointed to it with a cloudflare domain that is updated every 5 minutes with my homes ip. Now i can access the server, but I think i messed up something with iptables, because I still can only ssh when im in my LAN network, but I want to be able to ssh from outside

When I try to ssh into the domain that works when using the vpn, I get Connection closed by myip port 22

I tried the following but I still cant ssh with my domain

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

This is my whole iptables as per now

Im pretty much trying to block everything with

iptables -P INPUT DROP

And im allowing for the vpn to work the following

iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 51820 -j ACCEPT //my vpn port

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
