Access SSH behind router via VPN?

Hi guys - have an Asus AC66U stock firmware (but latest) running VPN server. I VPN in and can ping my machines but am running a linux machine with SSH enabled for console access. I cannot get to it. I can ping the IP but get an instant "network connection refused" from Putty as soon as I try. I've tried DMZ, forwarding port 22, etc. but nothing works.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
 
Your SSH server's firewall might be rejecting connections coming from a VPN clients since they would be from a different subnet.
 
I think you're right Merlin - it's actually a Beaglebone Black device I am trying to VPN in and SSH to control things. I will have to check the SSH server running on it and see how locked down it is.
