*sigh*

Didn't I expressly ask you to remove each line starting with a # (to
keep the quote short)?

Is "coffeeshopIp" the actual *external* IP address of that coffee shop?

For some reason your sshd listens only on the IPv6 address. Does the
coffee shop use IPv6? Try adding one of the following lines to your
sshd_config:

  "ListenAddress 192.168.20.x"
  "ListenAddress 0.0.0.0"
  "AddressFamily inet"
  "AddressFamily any"

Does your server actually *have* an IPv4 address? What does "ifconfig"
say?

I don't have experience with IPv6, but your router forwarding to an IPv4
address, whereas the server listens on an IPv6 address, may (or may not)
have something to do with your problem.

BTW, obfuscating private addresses like 192.168.20.x is pretty
pointless.

I doubt it.
