Remember that when you connect to your machine, you need to use the
ip address the router has, not the gnat address your machine has.
I.E. if your router had the ip address of 205.230.11.5, then you
would need to sftp to that ip address, and then that router would
need to port forward the sftp ports onto the 192.168.2.15 ip inside
the network, since that is not a valid ip address outside of your
local network.
If you don't have a static ip on your router, then you'll need to
look it up everytime someone wants to connect to you.
This gets quite problematic as you can imagine, which is usually why
folks who run servers have static ips on their devices that are
sitting between them and the outside, to facilitate this sort of
activity.
