I'm attempting to create a remote session from the internal network to a device that is attached to the WAN interface. Understandably this is a non-contiguous network issue. I have found ways to go from the WAN interface to the internal network and be able to have it forwarded to a specific device. But, that's not what I'm trying to do. Would I have to enable remote management and ssh out?
== edit ==
How I'm remoting is from a windows 7 tower with putty installed out to an ubuntu server running squid.

Normally there are no outbound restrictions. Is this device directly plugged into the WAN port? Can it ping the WAN IP address? – Paul – 2014-11-26T00:04:34.527
The device that I want to remote to is connected to the WAN interface. I double checked with [Administration >> Diagnostics >> ping] and I received a 0% packet loss from it. I feel silly asking this. It really shouldn't be an issue. However. I can't ping it from my windows box – Miphix – 2014-11-26T00:06:46.370
Ok, and do you have NAT enabled between the LAN and WAN? – Paul – 2014-11-26T00:18:57.063
No sir, I do not. Is this mandatory? – Miphix – 2014-11-26T00:21:35.967
wow, i just asked that – Miphix – 2014-11-26T00:24:38.150
I'm pretty sure that it all changes since I'm using a linksys access point. I should've been more clear on that. – Miphix – 2014-11-26T00:34:32.843
NAT isn't mandatory. Is the default gateway for the ubuntu box the IP of the WAN interface? The reply packets need to know how to get back. – Paul – 2014-11-26T02:22:01.703
