The receiver's router is some rather pathetic device provided free by their ISP. When I was there recently I logged in to its configuration settings, which aren't very extensive. There was a setting to allow specified services to pass through. I selected 'SSH' from the list, then selected their PC from the list of known/connected devices, and changed the port number to the one I'd previously configured (i.e. not the default 22).
So you're going IN to the receiver's router (?firewall?) on its port 22 facing the Big-I Internet, and that's redirecting to another port on a selected machine where you've set up a sshd listening on that other port. As far as you addressing the remote *site* you address port 22 on the Big-I Internet facing side. The redirection is done by that router (?firewall?). You do NOT direct out from your machine to that other port, the remote router (?firewall?) takes care of that redirection for you. OBTW do not fiddle with the hosts.allow.
