The router thinks its WAN address is 172.23.75.228 but all the remote systems I connect to report my IP address as 91.87.217.68. When the router restarts for whatever reason the 172.23.75.228 will change but the 91.87.217.68 seems to be pretty constant.
172.23.* is in the rfc1918 private address space, hence why you can't route to it from the internet, there is most likely some kind of nat taking place on 91.87.217.68.
Yes, that's the conclusion I came to after some mucking about, so I need some way to tunnel back through an outgoing connection.
It looks as if openvpn should do what I want, I just need to get back to the boat again to set it up.
