So if one is travelling and staying in a hotel with wifi facilities then connection via SSH is not possible. Is that true?
No. I regularly take my laptop to France, and connect home using the Orange wifi. Have you got different names for your home network in your hosts file though? I would ask to connect to my external IP named as an external name in my hosts file, from abroad, which the router is set to forward to a particular internal computer. Internally, I connect to the internal name in the hosts file. I thus have to have the correct key pair for the computer that the router is designated to forward the request to.
Hope I haven't missed the point here....... connection is possible though!
