I set up a port to be forwarded to a Raspberry Pi system connected to the router with Ethernet. It doesn't seem to work, though. Are there ports that can't be forwarded? I need to ssh in to the Pi on occasion, and moved the SSH port to something non-standard to discourage snoopers. When connected to the local network I can ssh in successfully, so I know the Pi is listening. All the Pi does is gather weather data, but I don't want people trying to crack passwords anyway.

Edit: Tried moving the sshd port back to the normal 22. I can still access it from inside the network, but not thru port forwarding from the outside (I did change the port being forwarded to the normal 22). Even tried rebooting the router/modem. Is port forwarding supposed to work?

It seems that Govee uses something other than 2.1 x 5mm power connectors for all their gear. I've got a DIY setup along the roof from the time before Govee got big. It wasn't fun drilling through brick to extend the power into the garage where the nearest outlet is, but it worked. That setup is aging and failing now and I'd like to replace it with an off-the-shelf solution. Govee looks great, except those relatively large power connectors are just too big to feed through the small-ish hole I have for the thinner DIY power cable. Is there a way to use a smaller power cable?
