VirtualBox host SSH access on LAN

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello
I'm still digging into the topic of openwrt on virtualbox. This time I have a problem connecting via ssh on the eth0 interface (host-only) from the host computer. I would like to be able to connect to (eth0) address 192.168.10.2.
My interface configuration is as follows:

# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel master br-lan state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 08:00:27:80:68:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 08:00:27:eb:b7:e1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.105/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth1
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:feeb:b7e1/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
4: br-lan: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 08:00:27:80:68:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.10.2/24 brd 192.168.10.255 scope global br-lan
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fd38:18c7:c46::1/60 scope global noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe80:687b/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

On the WAN interface, firewall rules worked:

config rule
option name 'WAN-SSH'
option src 'wan'
option dest_port '22'
option proto 'tcp'
option target 'ACCEPT'

I tried to add firewall rules analogously with the lan/br-lan interface but without success. Can you tell me what the rules for ssh giving access to the router should look like?

Best regards
MA

your WAN side devices don't know how to route to the 192.168.10.2 IP.

try ssh to the WAN IP instead, or change your fw rule to forward SSH to the LAN side IP.

So do a redirection from WAN to LAN? Do I understand correctly?

you've already applied the rule, tried it ?

You don't provide enough information to assist you. How is the host only interface configured on the VirtualBox host?

Like this, correct?
