C6300 AC1750 - Port Forwarding = garbage?

I am attempting to port forward ssh to one of my lab servers here at home, but the forward just connection refuses. I then added a httpd server, enabled the forward and watched in horror as the modem's web ui came up.

The forward settings are straight forward, port, tcp/udp, internal ip of 192.168.0.200, external set to ANY 0.0.0.0 and the forward is set to enabled. Port forwarding set to always.

What else can I try?

    Are you testing this from within your LAN or outside? If from within, using the Public IP address, then it’s possible that the C6300 does not support the necessary Loopback functionality.
